Ice Age Park and Trail Foundation
Madison
December 5, 2002
To the Honorable, the Assembly:
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) was delighted to be the recipient of that grant in 2000, 2001 and 2002. It is with a great deal of pride that I submit our final report for the year 2002, as required by statute s.
23.295.
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 2002 alone, over 5,000 volunteers provided an "in kind" match of over 73,000 hours spent in support of the trail. When translated into dollars their contribution equals more than $1,000,000 annually - really quite extraordinary.
We genuinely appreciate your continuing support and your true partnership. Please call me at 608-663-1240 with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Christine Thisted
Executive Director
Referred to committee on Tourism.
