KLT Awarded $13,375.00

Our natural resource assets play a significant role in the overall health and wellness of our community. The public access we enjoy to many nationally significant lands is something we have come to appreciate, and in some cases even take for granted. The Portage Health Foundation recognizes that our natural resources provides many opportunities to enjoy the types of activities that contribute to the overall physical and spiritual wellness of our citizens.

Recently, the Keweenaw Land Trust, a community partner in protecting land, water and quality of life through conservation, education, and stewardship, acquired a parcel of property located at Princess Point near Jacobsville that includes 360’ of waterfront on the Keweenaw waterway. The parcel has beautiful views of undeveloped lands adjacent to the property and is a common area for fishermen, hunters, and recreational paddlers. As part of the project, the KLT needed to raise additional funds needed to complete the project and was presented with a recent award of $13,375.00 from the Portage Health Foundation. (see more)
