Pleasant Valley Conservancy on back cover of Wisconsin DNR magazine

We were delighted to receive the December 2010 issue of Wisconsin Natural Resources and discover that our Pleasant Valley Conservancy was featured on the back cover of the magazine. A great photo of bur oaks rimed with hoarfrost graced the page.

The photo was taken by Thomas Meyer, Natural Areas Conservation Biologist of the Bureau of Endangered Species.

According to Meyer:

"I was out there last winter during one of those amazing hoar frost mornings. The frost crystals were an inch long in places, especially near the top of the ridge where the air was moving a bit more. The place was magical."

If you don't know Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine, you should. Any environmentally focused Badger should subscribe. Published bimonthly, it covers all aspects of Wisconsin nature and wildlife. The quality of the magazine is shown by the fact that the staff received a prestigious award by the Madison Audubon Society at last year's banquet.

Among other things, this coverage by the magazine emphasizes that Pleasant Valley Conservancy can be pleasurably visited any time of the year! Check us out.
