News and Updates
BMAP has a new outreach ecologist
Cindy Ramseyer recently moved here from the beautiful Ozark forests in Missouri, where she has been doing plant inventories as a private consultant and working for the Missouri Department of Conservation as a wildlife biologist and botanist. We welcome the enthusiasm, expertise, energy and ideas that Cindy is bringing to the ecologist's position, and look forward to the results. If you would like to contact Cindy with a question, or to request information about a site visit, she can be reached at ecologist@bluemounds.org.
The BMAP summer event series is underway.
The next BMAP land walk and potluck picnic will be held 6:00 PM Tuesday July 15, 2008 at the Paul and Estela Ohlrogge property in the Dane county town of Vermont. Split between a marsh and coldwater stream down below, and a ridgetop prairie and woodland up above, Paul and Estela's 30 some acres has a little bit of everything to challenge the land manager. Paul has worked with the DNR and other organizations on his management projects, and as a County U.W. Extension Agent is a well informed guy when it comes to programs and resources available to the rural property owner. For directions and details, see the full list of this summer’s events.
