Evenings with Audubon: Wisconsin's Prairie Remnants, Then and Now
Capitol Lakes 333 W. Main St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
With Amy Alstad, UW-Madison Department of Zoology
In the 1940s and 1950s, UW Botany Professor John Curtis surveyed hundreds of prairie remnants across Wisconsin. Since then, these prairie remnants have been resurveyed in 1987-1988 and again in 2012-2013. This talk will summarize the changes observed in the prairie flora over more than 60 years, present probable causes of that change, and discuss management implications.
