Join Brian Heeringa, Wildlife Biologist for the Washburn Ranger District of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, on January 15 to learn about the Management and Biodiversity of the Moquah Barrens.
Brian will take attendees on a brief trip through the management history of the Moquah Barrens describing how the barrens were formed, the influence of humans on the landscape, and the efforts by land managers to restore not only the Moquah Barrens but the larger Northwest Sands landscape. Along the way Brian will also describe the diversity of animals, plants, and insects that rely on barrens ecosystems and the efforts by the Forest Service to better understand the influences of management actions on the landscape and the species that rely on it.
