Easement area(green and purple)
Acquisition Project:Hanke Trail Easement Date: June 22, 2020; June 29, 2020
Parties Evaluating Project: Kevin Thusius; LCC Acres/fee/easement: ~2.2 acres easement; Taylor County
Primary Criteria FindingsAll land transactions shall take into account the mission of the IATA, “…to create, support and protect the Ice Age National Scenic Trail as a thousand-mile foot trail tracing Ice Age formations across Wisconsin.”
This would indeed protect a portion of the IANST.
Does the property complete a road-to-road connection for the Trail? Is there existing Ice Age Trail on the property not yet protected? Yes.
Is the property within a DNR-approved Ice Age Trail corridor (where available)? No.
Is the property identified in an Ice Age Trailway Protection Strategy (where available)? No.
Is there full funding or a plan for fully funding legal defense and monitoring of the property/easement if retained by the IATA long-term? If not, is there a plan in place to ensure full funding for defense and monitoring? Document calculations to determine costs as appropriate.
See the values below. Full funding has not been met for these needs. There is no specific plan in place to meet these needs at this time.
Is there full funding available for acquisition if being purchased? Via what sources? Is private funding needed? Is (partial/full) donation being considered?
The appraisal is currently being completed so the value is unknown. Alliance staff will evaluate the desire to apply for state funding depending on the value of the easement. Regardless, private funding must be sought. A local supporter has offered to help in this regard but the exact amount is unknown.
Does the acquisition provide the IATA in/egress access to the property if not connected to public road/land? Yes
Does the property contain a documented significant geologic, natural or cultural feature? Or, if not on the property could the acquisition of the property help otherwise interpret from or contribute to the protection of significant feature?
No.
Is property part of an IATA area of active concentration for acquisition and or aid in protecting a string of properties?
Yes, we own an easement across the road and own the adjacent property.
Are there any potential negative aspects for acquiring this property? If so, explain.
Possible issues with ski trail use. The landowners have issues with unwanted ATVs too.
How willing is the landowner to work with IATA? Or is the landowner unwilling to work with other partners? Fiarly supportive of the Trail in general; willing to work with us.
What is the basic management strategy for the property? Are there partners to assist with management? Is the property in a program such as MFL or CRP?
Sign the route, mow if we are off the gravel ski trail.
Would protecting the property protect significant natural resources? No.
Does the property contain a route for the Ice Age Trail that is sustainable (i.e., require only nominal trail structures)? Yes, either on or off the ski trail.
Would the property create an opportunity for a dispersed camping area (DCA) or other trail infrastructure needs such as parking and/or management access?
No.
Would a particularly scenic vista from protected Ice Age Trail be preserved? No.
Is there another state/federal program associated with this property such as CRP, MFL or Forest Legacy? Yes, the property is MFL closed.
Project CostsA. Initial project costs * $4,910 B. Baseline documentation property report $183 C. Initial stewardship $13 D -- F. Monitoring/compliance: initial investment required to cover annual expenses at 5% return ** $3,168
G. Legal Enforcement $1,200 * some costs already spent; more than half are reimbursable $9,474 ** This amount of endowment would meet long-term monitoring needs
Project Summary: 40 foot wide trail easement along a current cross country ski trail and two section not on the ski trail but mostly on old logging roads. It would connect the Trail from Bear Ave on the north to the Alliance-owned Rusch Preserve on the south.
