A new oil pipeline proposed by Enbridge Energy would make its way through some of the most productive farm and forestland in Carlton County, as well as crossing virgin wetlands and waters. The Carlton County Land Stewards is made up of a grassroots group of families, farmers, landowners, and individuals that oppose the creation of this pipeline.
The Land Stewards are not standing by and watching. In response, they are holding a series of letter writing open houses. The goal is to collect comments for the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission. The open houses will feature informal information sessions, as well as step-by-step instructions, giving citizens a forum where their voices can be heard.
You are invited to join at any of the following open houses where the plan to implement the pipeline will be discussed:
November 10: St Andrews by the Lake, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
