Hello Fitchburg!

 

If anyone is in need of any last minute holiday gift ideas for friends and family, we'd like to let you know that Fitchburg City Hall now has 2012 Wisconsin Annual State Trail Passes available for sale.  The passes are $20 each and are available through the Recreation and Clerk's Departments on 2nd Floor of Fitchburg City Hall at 5520 Lacy Road.

 

State Trail Passes can be used as your permit to bike, horseback ride, cross-country ski, in-line skate, and/or off-highway motorcycle on appropriately marked Wisconsin State Trails.  A full listing of locations and options can be viewed at: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/parks/fees/trailpass.html.  Locally in Fitchburg, this State Trail Pass can be used for recreational biking and/or bicycle commuting on the Badger State Trail, Capital City State Trail, and/or Millitary Ridge State Trail.

 

This great gift idea is brought to you by Fitchburg's Staff Green Team and associated staff members in the Clerk's and Parks/Recreation Departments (e.g. Scott Endl, Tony King, Linda Cory, Tracy Mergen, Patti Anderson, and others).

 

We're also in the process of creating a special electronic mailing list for "Green Ideas" to interested Fitchburg residents and businesses (who can subscribe at: http://www.city.fitchburg.wi.us/mail_list/index.php), similar to the electronic Fitchburg Update newsletter subscription, etc.  However, we're still brainstorming what to call this list (e.g. "Envir-Aware", "Fitchburg Green News", "Eco-Fitchburg", etc.). If you have any comments, ideas, and/or suggestions for names and/or content for this mailing list, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

 

Please feel free to forward this correspondence to any Fitchburg residents and/or businesses that you think might be interested.

 

Thank you and Happy Holidays!

 

Rick Eilertson, Fitchburg Staff Green Team Co-Chair
