BIG ISLAND LEGACY

OUR OVERALL AND ONGOING MISSION
To Preserve the History & Natural Beauty of Big Island Park

OUR IMMEDIATE MISSION

To assist the city of Orono in raising $400,000 to complete several specific projects on Big Island. When the city of Orono purchased the Big Island property, they made a commitment to the State of Minnesota, MCWD and to the Veterans.

As part of that commitment, the money being raised will be used to make many ADA compliant improvements in the form of trails, new bathrooms, a viewing platform, and a shelter. Donate today to help make these projects a reality.
