IRON COUNTY - Iron County has acquired 1,100 acres around the Gile Flowage from Xcel Energy for $5.6 million, concluding a six-year conservation project. The purchase, was funded entirely by grants and protects 18 miles of shoreline and wetlands within the Lake Superior watershed. The health and stability of ecosystems within the Gile Flowage have a direct and vital influence on the quality of downstream water and coastal resources. Supported by local tribes and municipalities, including the towns of Carey and Pence, the land will become part of the Iron County Forest and will be managed under a 15-year plan to ensure habitat preservation and permanent public access.
