The Trust recently completed the transfer of 194 a The Trust recently completed the transfer of 194 acres on the slopes of Mount Champion, just outside the Mount Massive Wilderness, to the San Isabel National Forest in Colorado. The Champion Mine South property, which stretches from the North Fork of Lake Creek almost to the summit of Mount Champion, includes remnants of the Champion Mine which was active from 1907-1940 mining gold, silver, copper, and lead. The property is being transferred to public ownership in two phases— this first 194-acre phase, and a second 40-acre phase that will follow at a later date. Along with the remnants of Champion Mine, a mill site where ore was processed was also located on the 40-acre portion of the property that will transfer later. Last year the Trust completed extensive environmental testing for mercury and other heavy metals on the property in partnership with the EPA-led Mixed Ownership Group. The testing all came back within safe levels, an important step to ensure the property is wilderness-ready before becoming public lands. With this due diligence completed, the second phase of the transfer is moving forward.
