Here’s a bit more about the beginnings of the Ice Age Trail, the preservation of the Kettle Moraine, and Ray Zillmer, the man who had the vision to imagine these gifts as public resources. (The Badger & the Whooping Crane featured this story in posts, January 12th and 18th.) He also had the stamina to pursue that vision until it began to take shape.
A volunteer work group for the Ice Age Trail Alliance, building and maintaining the trail.
I’m grateful to the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, for publishing this longer version of Ray Zillmer’s story in their own Wisconservation Blog!
