Mission and programs · 2024

• Maintain and improve recreational trail system for non-motorized recreational use by hundreds of community members and regional visitors with over 25-km groomed Nordic ski trails, snow bike trails, and marked snowshoe trails in winter and 25 miles of purpose-built single track mountain bike trails in summer. All marked trails are also used for hiking, trail running and nature observation. This year, we created our first universally-accessible trail.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

  2025 · This project is to control Glossy Buckthorn at the Swedetown Recreation Area in Calumet using grazing goats. Glossy Buckthorn (Rhomnus frangula) is an invasive shrub that can rapidly spread to fill the understory of a forested area. Dense thickets of buckthorn inhibit hardwood regeneration and can also shade out native understory vegetation that is needed as food for wildlife and insects.
