About the event
ALAS welcomes you to join us on Saturday, April 18th, CHANGE IN DATES. APRIL 29 & 30TH - Space is limited. We take a short journey to witness the spectacular breeding display of the Greater Prairie-Chicken. At one time, these birds occupied every county in the state, but with development and loss of grassland habitat numbers have declined. Modern populations only occupy a few grasslands in central Wisconsin and are listed as a state threatened species.
Buena Vista Grasslands is a 12,700 acre property located just South of Plover and East of Wisconsin Rapids. The property has been managed for Greater Prairie-Chicken habitat since the 1950s.
Every spring select members of the public are allowed to view the Greater Prairie-Chickens on their breeding ground or lek, from one of several permanent viewing blinds. This year ALAS is happy to be offering this opportunity!
We will be getting to the blinds…
