Chisago Lakes Rotary - Rotary Peace Trail
In 2024 we were awarded a District Grant to construct a trail in our local Rotary Park, located in Chisago City. This trail now allows people to have access to School Lake, an amazing environmental and wildlife lake. In addition to the construction of this trail ( a $20,000 project) we decided to integrate Rotary's "Make Peace Visible" theme into the park. this winter and spring we will have students and adults throughout our community painting "Peace Poles" , to be installed in 2-3 places within the park and the new trail. These will be place in what we call Peace Gardens. Those Rotary Clubs, foundations, businesses or individuals that contributed $1000 or more to the project will have their name on a Peace Pole. The project will culminate this spring when we have a dedication of the Peace Gardens sometime in May.

Climate change is negatively impacting food production and agricultural workers world-wide. Increasing heat waves are damaging harvests and killing livestock. Warming oceans are threatening the marine food chain. Increasing droughts are creating food shortages in some countries. If we want peace and food security, we must have a stable climate. Rotary, through our Protecting the Environment focus area, is challenged to address climate change and to do our part to reduce emissions, toward a stable climate. We will share many Rotary projects that can help toward this goal, including our club's current project.
