(Photo courtesy Keweenaw Land Trust)The program with McDonald, Executive Director of the Keweenaw Land Trust, will be held at 7 p.m. TONIGHT, Thursday, Jan. 29, in the community room of the library.
McDonald will give an overview of the Keweenaw Land Trust (KLT) and its mission as a community partner protecting land, water and quality of life through conservation, stewardship and education.
Founded in 1996 to serve Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw counties, KLT has protected nearly 3000 acres, most of which is open for public recreation and education. McDonald will highlight the successes of conservation partnerships and programs and will describe opportunities for the public to enjoy conserved lands and get involved with protecting more of the Copper Country’s special landscape. In particular, KLT has made progress with long-term land conservation goals in the Hancock-Calumet corridor -- with exciting opportunities ahead.
Additionally, to involve the community, the newly launched "KLT Outings" event series offers opportunities to get outside, have fun and learn how land conservation benefits our quality of life.

Everyone is invited to attend library events and presentations are free.
