Progress managing State Natural Areas
HELP US MAKE EVEN MORE GAINS!A prescribed burn at Quincy Bluff and Wetlands in Adams County. Photo credit: Jon Robaidek While state crews and volunteers are already hard at work removing invasive brush at State Natural Areas, we want to celebrate their great progress in 2016. Our annual report chronicles volunteers’ growing numbers and impact as well as SNA crews’ work to restore and maintain some of Wisconsin's best remaining prairies, oak savannas and other rare natural communities. Since that report was filed in September, SNA crews capitalized on warm, dry fall weather to conduct prescribed burns on more than 20 sites, listed below. Read more about the benefits of fall burns in this past issue of our Natural Heritage Quarterly newsletter for landowners. Thank you to our many volunteers and state crew members for your hard work in 2016! We look forward to even more progress in 2017 and invite new volunteers to join us in caring for these special places. There are many opportunities to get out and join a work party in January and February and beyond. Fall 2016 Prescribed Burns on State Natural Areas
