Mary Kay, 

Thanks.....I did end up with a property visit this morning, so I will be
in transit during the meeting. I will try to listen in. Britta Kelly of
West Wisconsin will also try and tune in as well. 

Regarding a report, I will say: 

* WWLT will have closed on 6 Land Protection Agreements in the Superior
Basin by the end of the year. One was dedicated as a state natural area.
One will be donated to a school to serve as an outdoor classroom. Two
are in the same township on the Amnicon River which will add to an 800
acre easement that we already hold on the same water body. 

* We have served on the National Estuary Research Reserve site selection
team , and have facilitated involvement and commitment from the City of
Superior to actively support the National Reserve on the St. Louis River
Estuary. 

* The City of Superior contracted with WWLT to develop the conservation
easement language for the 300+ acre wetland bank for the Army Corps of
Engineers, Special Area Management Plan located at the base of Wisconsin
Point. 

* WWLT serves on the Douglas County Comprehensive Planning committee to
help in corporate the concept of permanent land protection as a goal of
the townships in the basin for Douglas County. 

*Contracted with TNC to conduct the annual monitoring for the Brule
River Conservation Easements, held since the mid 1980's. (~20 easements)

These are some of the conceptual and tangible ways that we are
connecting to Lake Superior. We look forward to some large projects
developing and closing in the next 2 years. 

We are still interested in the mining rights training. Enjoy a
successful meeting.
