NORTHWOOD ALLIANCE congratulates the Warren’s

on their CONSERVATION EASEMENT!

280 Acres along the South Branch Ontonagon River Protected with Keweenaw Land Trust

One of the great pleasures of conservation work is knowing and working with individuals as committed as Al and Nancy Warren. From my river trips with Al, to strategizing with Nancy, I not only appreciate their conservation efforts on the Northwood Alliance Board, but I am proud to be their friend. Congratulations to Al and Nancy, this conservation easement is another significant accomplishment in their conservation resume, another method of leading by example. What a great gift to future generations. Joe Hovel

Who We Are

The Northwood Alliance is a non-profit group that was formed in 1981 in opposition to Department of Energy proposals to locate a nuclear waste dump in either northern Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was also instrumental in the successful defeat of the Crandon, Wisconsin underground zinc-copper project that had been proposed in a sulfide ore body located at the headwaters of the Wolf River, a grassroots struggle that took place over twenty-five years in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s.
