I received the following press release that I’m happy to post:
Renae Prell-Mitchell, from UW-Whitewater, will lead a ‘Natural Plant Communities Talk & Tour’ at the Whitewater Effigy Mounds Preserve on Saturday, May 26th at 10 AM.
Renae will talk about the existing wetlands, DOT prairie and Silver maples/bur oak stand, as well as the rare remnant of Oak Savannah or Oak Opening. She will help us understand the importance of these existing habitats, and give us a glimpse of the landscape as it was for the hundreds of years before the founders of our community described its beauty in the “Annuals of Whitewater.”
