News from PIF:
PIF position on the
mine proposal in the Penokee Range
Dear Wisconsin lawmakers,
Our organization is a for profit cooperative of
landowners, foresters and water resource professionals who
care deeply about the lands and waters in Wisconsin’s
Northwood’s region. We endorse and participate in
sustainable resource harvesting and extraction as a
necessity; a benefit to mankind and the economy of the
region. We have been asked by very many folks in recent
months what affect the mine proposal in the Penokee Range may
have on our water, forests and way of life. Our staff, being
uneducated on mining, enlisted the assistance of a mining
professional and university instructor Jack Parker. Mr.
Parker has a career of helping to set up over 500 mines
around the world and is passionate about the need for
responsible mining to benefit mankind. His career includes
instructing at Michigan Technological University, formerly
called the Michigan School of Technology and Mining.
I hope you will study his summary very closely, as by his remarks the
voting this week for legislation to assist a mine in the
Penokee Hills was irresponsible. It is with the permission
of Mr. Parker, that I release to you the brief summary of
his studies to wrap up his work for us on this important
issue.

mine proposal in the Penokee Range, Read More
