You can become a “Citizen Scientist” and help the prairie chickens!
The Wisconsin DNR’s Greater Prairie-chicken observation survey is now available for your smartphone.
The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation invites you to participate in a special sealed-bid auction supporting our court appeal to protect Wisconsin’s Greater Prairie Chicken and the Buena Vista Wildlife Area. You could own an Owen Gromme artist-proof (#2 of 50) "Dancing Prairie Chicken" print—beautifully framed and featuring a personal message and signature on the back from renowned conservationist George Meyer.
