The group of walkers that have been supporting Margaret Comfort on her campaign to “Protect our Water!” have made there way 108 miles across the UP to the Seney National Wildlife Refuge. Upon completion of the Seney segment, the group will rest one day before heading out to walk the second half of the journey- Germfask to St.Ignace and the Labor Day Bridge Walk with Governor Granholm.

Margaret Comfort, initiator of the trip from the Yellow Dog Plains to the Bridge comments, “This trip has been such a joy. People have been honking and waving all along the way!”

“We urge all who can to come join us at the Bridge for the final 5 miles of this UP trek,” says Cynthia Pryor of the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve.

The Walk has been supported by several environmental organizations and donations from concerned citizens and interested participants. For more info about the route, walk updates and how you can help, contact Save the Wild UP at 228-4444 or www.savethewildup.org.
