Last 160 acres on Mt Ashwabay

Your help is needed to acquire and protect the last 160 acres on Mt Ashwabay (shown in orange on this map).

Thanks to a Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund grant, the last piece of Mt Ashwabay can be protected with your help! Your donation will be matched 1:1 up to $100,000 to purchase this land for wildlife habitat, forestry and Nordic ski trails.

The option top purchase expires at the end of September. 80% of the funds have been raised! The BRC is working with Bayfield County and the Ashwabay Outdoor Educational Foundation to raise the remainder of the match required by the grant.

You may donate on line at our website and read more details here (click on Projects box in lower left corner).
