06 May Quick Status Update

• We have completed the process and formed a non-profit group called Missouri River Open Lands Preservation (MROLP).

• Our purpose has and continues to be to keep the approximately 80 acres of Fox Farm state lands in open space.

• We are following the rules of DNRC, managers of the state lands, that allows for keeping the land as status quo – open space.

• There will not be any changes in use which is currently recreational such as hiking, biking, walking dogs, birdwatching, etc. WHILE no motorized vehicles are allowed.

• We are in the process of raising funds to pay for an easement in perpetuity to the state school trust to keep this land as open space.

• Our goal is to raise approximately $500,000 to acquire the easement. To-date, we have raised over $90,000.  Thanks to many individuals and groups.
