The Sauk Prairie Conservation Alliance
Working for a New Future for the Sauk Prairie on the Badger Lands.
Since 1942, the 7,354 acre Badger Army Ammunition Plant has dominated the Sauk Prairie landscape. No longer needed for national defense, the plant has been decommissioned by the U.S. Army, and in a transfer of ownership, will be converted to conservation, restoration, recreational, and agricultural land uses.
