CSP Coordinator Marinella and Board President Edie attended along with over 150 people, despite the crummy weather. Tom Quinn, executive director of WFU opened the workshop stating that more than 33,000 acres of land in Wisconsin are used for frac sand mines.

The overall message was that even if the frac sand mining industry seems to be stagnant at this time, it is important to keep up the work of protecting townships to avoid more exploitation of the land.
