Human and natural history collide in this unique Wisconsin ecosystem
Northwestern Wisconsin is home to a globally rare and unusual ecosystem that you’ve probably never seen before: the oak-pine barrens. But the habitat found in the Namekagon Barrens Wildlife Area is not an untouched natural landscape—in fact, humans have played an integral role in shaping it for centuries. We talk to the author of a new book about the history and ecology of one of Wisconsin’s most unique wildlife areas.
