Gathering Waters Conservancy
Madison
February 8, 2008
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
It is my pleasure to share with you a report on Gathering Waters Conservancy's activities and accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2007. This report is being submitted in accordance with the statutory requirements of s.
23.0955(2)(b)5. Gathering Waters Conservancy has had an extremely successful year, thanks to the ongoing support of the state legislature and the Department of Natural Resources.
The more than 50 land trusts in Wisconsin have together permanently protected over 200,000 acres in communities across Wisconsin. Land trusts in Wisconsin have a combined membership of close to 50,000 individuals and thousands of local volunteers; they have raised millions of dollars to protect critical lands that benefit the public; and they work with private landowners every day to promote stewardship and protection of our natural resources.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Department and the state legislature to achieve our mutual conservation goals. Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional information. I have also enclosed Gathering Waters Conservancy's audited financial reports for FY 2007 for your review.
Sincerely,
Michael Strigel
Executive Director
Referred to committee on Natural Resources.
