Celebrate FOLK's accomplishments ...
read our farewell newsletter!
As we wind down FOLK operations over the next few months, the Board wants to share one last newsletter with our supporters that summarizes many of our community-building accomplishments over the years. Please take a few minutes to savor all we were able to do together. And know that we are depositing a large amount of FOLK material in the Michigan Tech archives to keep the legacy of FOLK alive! Thank you!
FOLK is Dissolving
A message from Board President Linda Rulison
March 14, 2025
On behalf of our current FOLK Board, we want to thank the loyal FOLK members who have supported our environmental work since FOLK's inception in 1989. When you read our final newsletter, please know that all of these accomplishments happened because of your support over the span of 36 years. It has been both a pleasure and a pain at times. It required a huge learning curve, as we had to gain an understanding of how to work effectively with other environmental groups, community groups, governmental agencies and legal entities. FOLK persevered and made a difference which we should all be proud of.
The board is sad to say goodbye to FOLK but we accomplished our goals; to educate the public and support activities that recognize the inherent worth of our forest, our land, our watershed and our community. We know there are others who will pick up the mantle when the time comes.
