<br /> Dear Mr. & Mrs . Glaaser:
<br /> I am sorry for the delay in sending the enclosed maps and
<br /> aerial photos to you. Several unexpected and time-consuming
<br /> projects kept me busy this past week. I recall that we met
<br /> several times a few years ago regarding the Ice Age Trail
<br /> crossing your family' s land in the Town of Cross Plains .
<br /> The purpose of the Ice Age Park & Trail Foundation has not
<br /> changed since we met before. The Foundation is working to
<br /> preserve a permanent location for the Ice Age National Scenic
<br /> Trail and to preserve the scenic rural character of the landscape
<br /> through which the Trail passes . When we met before we had
<br /> relatively little financial support for the Trail and we primarily
<br /> sought donations from willing landowners. Now, besides funds from
<br /> private donors solicited by the Foundation, there are funds from
<br /> the Dane County Conservation Fund and the Wisconsin Stewardship
<br /> Program allocated to purchase land for the Trail . We can still
<br /> offer landowners potential income tax deductions from donations
<br /> of land rights, but we can also offer to buy land from interested
<br /> landowners .
<br /> We are motivated to acquire permanent rights-of-way because
<br /> of the failure in the past of temporary agreements to prevent the
<br /> Trail and the landscape features it is following from being taken
<br /> over by other, incompatible uses . For instance, the Cherrywood
<br /> development across Timber Lane from your property displaced the
<br /> Ice Age Trail from the terminal moraine, where it was located 15
<br /> years ago. In those days we relied on handshake agreements with
<br /> landowners .
<br /> The Foundation ' s mission, like that of The Nature Conservancy,
<br /> is to preserve important geological features and natural resources
<br /> for future generations to enjoy and to learn from. Along the
