ST CROIX VALLEY: Presentation on Identifying and Caring for Oak Woodlands

Presentation First

Join ecologist Dan Carter of The Prairie Enthusiasts for an engaging look at how to recognize, restore, and care for these rare ecosystems, and why they matter more than ever.

Dan brings decades of hands-on restoration experience, including work with oak woodlands and savannas across Wisconsin and beyond, as well as leadership in developing assessment tools for the Wisconsin DNR. From prairie reconstruction to regional conservation planning, his work connects science, restoration, and real-world land stewardship.

Whether you’re a naturalist, landowner, or simply curious about Wisconsin’s ecosystems, this is a chance to see and appreciate oak woodlands in a whole new way.
