Horicon National Wildlife Refuge finished another successful and, most importantly, safe prescribed burn season in spring 2007. 

Eight burns were completed on the Refuge, for a total of 1,090 acres.  In addition, six burns were completed at the 1,054 acre Fox River National Wildlife Refuge, for a total of 184 acres. 

The burning was conducted under the guidance of the Refuge Prescribed Fire Specialist, Sean Sallmann. 

In addition, the fire crew included two seasonal Range Technicians, Roy Stern and Brent Faas, and permanent Lead Range Technician, Greg Hamilton. 

Trained Refuge staff and two ADs (Dan Bell and Bill Herman) also assisted with the burning.  Staff and equipment resources were shared among Leopold Wetland Management District, Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, and the Wisconsin Private Lands Office.
