IATNL proposes alternate transmission corridor

The IATNL supports the park’s position that the outstanding natural and tourism value of this resource should not be depreciated by this development. When all things are considered, it will be clear that promoting the natural resource of Lower Churchill power at the expense of one of the few important natural resources of the Northern Peninsula, makes little short- or long-term economic sense, not to mention spiritual or aesthetic sense.

Nimblewill Nomad’s book

This was an epic,5600 mile journey ending at the last tiny piece  of the Appalachian Mountains in the Western Hemisphere, Belle Isle.  Myself, Cliff Young, Will Richard, Don Hudson, Phine Hudson and Denyse Zyveniuk and some of our IAT/SIA partners from Newfoundland had the great pleasure to travel to the Island of Belle Isle in the company of the Nomad in 2003 and it was quite an experience for all of us. You will see a photograph, taken by IAT/SIA official photographer Will Richard, of Nomad and I at the northern tip of the island  on the back cover of his book. This book provides both hikers and non hikers the opportunity to experience the daily thrills and trials of a very long-distance hike. Daily journals, written in the inspirational and spiritual style of the Nomad, will give readers a window into  his life on the trail. I know you will LOVE this book!!
