Penokee Hills Education Project

                               A project of the  Mining Impact Coalition of Wisconsin, Inc.


"We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect." 
-Aldo Leopold

  Purpose
  • The PHEP has been formed to educate the public about the risks to the Bad River watershed and the Penokee Hills should large scale taconite mining be permitted.
  • Share relevant information about the impact of mining on our economy, health, and environment.
  • Connect with citizen led groups locally, statewide, and nationally.
