We will visit the WisDOT Oneida wetland mitigation bank to learn about the regulatory functions and habitat management strategies of this crown jewel of mitigation banks. We will then travel across the road to a 420-acre wetland and prairie refuge that is providing critical habitat for grassland and marsh bird species. We will also learn about and see other efforts to restore the headwaters of Trout Creek. Participants will gain an understanding of the partnerships that make this work possible and meet the experts who will guide them on this journey! We will be winter hiking and birding, so bring binoculars and appropriate clothing and footwear. Trails will be groomed and snowshoes are encouraged. Bus transportation provided. Registration fee: $12 Pre-registration required. Sponsored by Wisconsin's Green Fire This session will not be recorded.
