Connecting the Ice Age Trail

One of the goals of the Dane County Parks and Open Space plan is to connect segments of the Ice Age Trail. In EANR, this week we approve an acquisition to connect Swamplovers preserve, Hickory Hill Conservancy, and Andersen preserve.

This is important as it provides a direct connection and takes portions of the Ice Age Trail off of the streets and roads.

As we go forward, our capital budgets are going to get much tighter as grapple with a 31 million dollar structural deficit. That will certainly affect our goals of conservation and climate change resiliency. Our committee will prioritize those discussions as we balance the many needs of our neighbors in Dane County.
