A Word From Our Partners
"Thank you so much for inspiring others to become good stewards of their land" - Nancy Bozek Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association
"Without the seed, advice, and encouragement of the people from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service I would never have been able to accomplish what we have done." - Private landowner Jon Peterson regarding 45 acres of prairie and savanna restoration in Waupaca Co.
"Our prairie project is both conservational and educational nature. It will contribute to public awareness, provide a community service, and a positive perception of the Black River Falls area doing its part for conservation. During all phases, the property will be a learning center for our 500 annual camper children, local scouts, 4H clubs, other service organizations and any interested members of the public." LeRoy Latham, Director Fallhall Glen Wisconsin Christian Youth Camp
"Recently, as we were showing some local farmers around our rural central Wisconsin property abundant with wildflowers and insects, we found ourselves saying something we don’t often say warm heartedly: ‘These are your tax dollars at work.’...For the past three years we’ve been helped immeasurably by two wildlife biologists from Fish and Wildlife Service…[They] came with experience and local knowledge...They mapped the property, arranged for Wisconsin Conservation Corp to clear brush, cut trees if required, helped us purchase native seeds, helped us understand various management practices including herbicides and prescribed burning and or mowing. Since they work with other landowners with similar goals, they brought an oversight to the bigger picture of habitat conservation." David And Shelley Hamel, Marquette Co.
"Thank you for a job well done. It’s a pleasure to see the wildlife return…" Stuart Schueler, Dane County
"Personally, my family and I have enjoyed watching what was a mud hole evolve into a refuge for so many different animals and birds." Dan Hertel, Brown County
