Field of Beans is a local organization dedicated to protecting North Lake and its surrounding environment from the potentially harmful policies of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). As a non-public agency, they rely on substantial financial contributions from citizens living around North Lake to carry out their mission. Field of Beans aims to preserve the lush wetlands and adjacent areas, which serve as critical habitats, flood control systems, and natural filters for pollutants. However, the DNR plans to replace the wetlands on the Kraus Site, owned by them, with a large asphalt parking lot, potentially leading to the pollution of North Lake and compromising the surrounding neighborhood's septic systems. Field of Beans highlights the fiscal impact of this development, as the DNR staff had already spent nearly $1.2 million of taxpayer money to purchase the Kraus Site, which was worth only half that amount. The organization's experts estimate that the construction challenges of developing Kraus will cost several times more than the DNR's initial estimate, further emphasizing the potential consequences of this ill-advised project.Generated from the website
