Land is My Sustenance
In 2016 a video about Nygren Wetland Preserve in Rockton won third place out of 75 submissions in a national video contest conducted by the Land Trust Alliance. The Video, “Land is My Sustenance”, was created and submitted by Curt Johnsen of Rockford. Johnsen asked that his third place prize money of $1000 be awarded to the National Land Institute. LTA praised his video “for the passionate sense of place that it evokes and the compelling, personal stories it shares.”
