In 1999 the State Legislature included a $75,000 annual grant in the state budget to be matched with $25,000 of private funds for the purpose of establishing, maintaining and promoting the Ice Age National and State Scenic Trail. The Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation (IAPTF) has been delighted to be the recipient of that grant since 2000. It is with a great deal of pride that I submit our final report for the year 2003, as required by statute s.

The Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation is a volunteer and member based organization whose mission is to create, support and protect the Ice Age Trail - designated a National Scenic Trail in 1980 and State Scenic Trail in 1987. The Trail is the
only unit of the National Park Service and the
only National Scenic Trail that commemorates the effects of continental glaciation in the United States.
We genuinely appreciate your continuing support and your true partnership. Please call me at 608-663-1240 with any questions you may have.
