Wetlands of the Penokee Hills

Crawford Stewardship Project and the Lower Kickapoo Initiative brought Tracy Hames, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Wetlands Association, to the Community Center in Gays Mills and gave a wonderful presentation on the breathtaking wetlands of the Penokee Range in Northern Wisconsin. The beauty of the incredible native functioning ecosystems there was juxtaposed with a conversation on Gogebic Taconite’s proposed iron mine that would irreparably foul and bury thousands of acres of the pristine habitat. All hope is not lost, however, and between the collaboration of people on the ground at the site of the mine in Harvest Camp, supporting organizations, the tribes, the Army Corps of Engineers (who can no longer work with the WDNR as they have become so compromised), and even international attention on this site declared a RAMSAR site of international importance, we hope this economically marginal project will never come to bear.
