Great Wisconsin Birding& Naturetrail Great Wisconsin Birding& NatureTrail Southern Savanna Region ALAN ORR Welcome Welcome to Wisconsin, where a wonderful world of wildlife watching awaits you. Environmental tourism has become an impor- tant part of our diverse mix of outdoor recre- ation. Extensive wetlands, millions of acres of wild places, a broad range of natural habitat, and a commitment to environmental steward- ship have made Wisconsin an outstanding regional birding opportunity. More than any other state in the Great Lakes basin, Wisconsin is positioned to promote and enjoy this popular activity. To that end, we launched the Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail in 2004. This project divided the state into five wildlife-viewing regions. Driving trails that link important wildlife sites within each region have been developed. The program has also produced a series of five birding guides to these regions. This is the fifth and final edition in that series, a guide to the Southern Savanna Region. Wisconsin – where stewardship is the foundation of recreation. Jim Doyle, Governor Sandhill Cranes.

This fifth in a series of five guides – the Southern Savanna Birding and Nature Trail – covers thirteen Wisconsin counties in the south- central portion of the state. Published in 2008, it includes 78 waypoints from the 30,000-acre Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in the east to Yellowstone State Park in the west. The first four guides in the series – the Lake Superior Northwoods edition released in 2004, the Mississippi/Chippewa Rivers edition from 2005, the Lake Michigan edition from 2006, and the Central Sands edition from 2007 – are all still available in limited numbers.

They also preserve significant geological and archaeological features and are often the last refuges in Wisconsin for rare species of birds, animals, plants, fungi, lichens, and a host of other organisms.
