Jefferson County in Process of Acquiring Trieloff Property

At the Tuesday evening Jefferson County Board meeting, the board approved an agreement between the county and Groundswell Conservancy. The parks department has been working with Groundswell Conservancy and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for over four years to acquire 42-acres of property located along Highway A in the Town of Lake Mills known as the Trieloff Property. The Trieloff Property is part of the Lake Mills Wildlife Area Project Boundary, and provides opportunity for both public conservation and access for outdoor recreational activities. The agreement indicates Jefferson County as a partner with Groundswell Conservancy and the Wisconsin DNR on the acquisition, management, and future development of the Trieloff Property. Currently, this resolution has no fiscal impact. To watch the full Jefferson County Board meeting, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGrRgXf8GNQ.
