2. Interested in learning more
about the plant communities inside Badger? Contact the
Alliance, and join us for our summer plant surveys! No
experience is required. We will be searching for rare species in all areas of the Badger Army Ammunition
Plant. Our survey schedule is flexible, and can accommodate
varied volunteer availability.
3. Do you
have an organization or club that would like to have a restoration
work day at Badger? Contact the Alliance coordinator at
info@saukprairievision.org to arrange a fun group work day.
We will organize an educational activity appropriate for your
group--you just need to bring the volunteers!
4. The
Alliance has completed prescription burning
at two sites inside Badger this Spring! A big thank-you to Jeb Barzen and the
International Crane Foundation for their integral role in
planning and conducting safe, effective burns inside Badger.
