Final Report

Article

Couderay Waters Regional Land Trust is sponsoring the The Moose Lake Legacy Initiative (Phase II) project which will focus on establishing the ownership status of 24 islands (highest priority) on Moose Lake. Ownership of these islands is unclear because Moose Lake is a flowage system created by a dam owned by Xcel Energy. The goal is to protect these lands in a natural state to preserve scenic beauty, high quality fishery and water quality through land purchase or conservation easements. Project goals includes: 1) Determine island ownership (24 islands); 2) Production and dissemination of Island Property Map. Project deliverables include: 1) Copy of report verifying land ownership of the 24 priority islands; 2) Copy of island ownership map. Specific conditions for this Project: 1) The WDNR will be provided electronic and hard copies of all data and or reports/plans generated as a result of this project; 2) Make sure lake association members are informed about this project.
