The Manton School District would like to increase its outdoor educational opportunities, and they own 160 acres of land near Long Lake about five miles south of Manton. This has belonged to the district since the 1940s. However, the land is heavily wooded, and not ideal for an outdoor education program.
The district is proposing a land swap with the DNR for a piece that is closer to the school, already has some open areas, and better vehicle access. It would be a place where an outdoor education program could flourish.
Superintendent Len Morrow said, "That's our desire. We live in a beautiful part of the world, beautiful part of our country, and there are a lot of natural resources that are around us that we don't make enough use of,” Morrow said. “We really want to provide more of an education for our kids about what's around us.”
This proposal is in the initial stages. There would be no cost to taxpayers if it succeeds.
