The protection, development and management of the Ice Age Trail is dependent on partnerships. The Trail's primary partners, including the National Park Service, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and IAPTF, work closely with county governments and other municipalities and with local volunteers from around the state. In 2000 alone, over 4,882 volunteers provided an "in kind" match of 60,323 hours spent in support of the trail. When translated into dollars their contribution equals almost $900,000 annually - really quite extraordinary.
The grant from the DNR has allowed IAPTF to:
Support the work of volunteers who develop, maintain and promote the Ice Age Trail.
Build partnerships for the Ice Age Trail area with local governmental units and nonprofit organizations.
Promote the protection of a corridor for the Ice Age Trail by providing information about acquiring land, or an interest in land in the corridor.
Strengthen community support for the Ice Age Trail area by recruiting and training volunteers and by coordinating the activities of interest groups.
Promote tourism in the Ice Age Trail area.

Christine Thisted
Executive Director
