Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge
The US Fish & Wildlife Service, Friends of the Refuge – Mississippi River Pools 7 & 8, and Mississippi Valley Conservancy are partnering with the Wisconsin Master Naturalist program to offer a new opportunity for volunteers in 2019 in Onalaska. This six day program will be presented among the scenic blufflands of the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin. Three Wisconsin rivers meet in this region: the Black, Trempealeau and La Crosse Rivers flow into the Mississippi River watershed. The program will be led by many local experts from UW La Crosse, UW Stevens Point, Wisconsin DNR, and US Fish and Wildlife staff. All will share information about the Driftless Area and Mississippi watershed. Participants will learn through instructor-led discussions in excellent outdoor settings.
