Dane County awards $900K in grant funding to Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance
The best day of the year redux
Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance and the Southern Wisconsin Chapter of Trout Unlimited, with the vital assistance of the Wisconsin DNR and Dane County Parks, held our annual field trip for the 4th graders of Madison's Lincoln Elementary School during the last few days of the school year. I just hope the kids had as much fun and learned as much as the adults lucky enough to accompany them on this trip.
We traveled to Dane County's Falk/Wells Wildlife Area on the Sugar River with three missions: help a prairie, see some cool fish, and have fun. Missions Accomplished.

Wisconsin’s prairie-chickens need you today
You may have heard about the proposed large-scale solar energy energy project in the Buena Vista Wildlife Area (near Stevens Point). This Important Bird Area provides critical habitat for one of Wisconsin’s dwindling but beloved species, the Greater Prairie-Chicken. You have an opportunity to weigh in on this matter by Friday, June 14.
