  The Lac Courte Oreilles tribe is trying a unique way to help stop the proposed iron ore mine in the Penokees: gathering wild onions and mushrooms.

The new LCO Harvest Camp is set in the backwoods of Iron County, right in the middle of the proposed mine.

Connor Beaulieu of LCO says he's almost 13 years old and proud to show off this new camp.

 The Iron County Sheriff's Department is investigating damage to a Gogebic Taconite (GTAC) drill rig, allegedly caused by protesters on Tuesday.

Protesters disrupted drilling by Gogebic Taconite on Tuesday, as the mining company explores a potential open-pit iron ore mine in far northern Wisconsin.

After an alleged property theft, Gogebic Taconite says it will hire private security while doing exploratory drilling in the Penokee Range.
