| The Sauk Prairie Conservation Alliance Working for a New Future for the Sauk Prairie on the Badger Lands. |
Because community is a huge aspect of our work, we strive to provide opportunities for local folks and visitors alike to become better acquainted with the greater Sauk Prairie area, and the restoration work being completed at the Badger Army Ammunition Plant!

LECTURE SERIES To coincide with a special exhibit during the winter of 2000 at the Water Street Gallery in the village of Prairie du Sac, the Alliance, Badger History Group and Mike and Paula Bunch’s Water Street Gallery organized a series of 10 free lectures on the history of the Great Sauk Prairie, created when the Wisconsin Glacier failed, resulting in outwash deposition across 14,000 acres. |
