The Kickapoo Valley Reserve will host a Ralph Nuzum Lecture Series program entitled “Can Managed Grazing Improve Soil Health and Water Quality in the Driftless Area?” on Saturday, Sept. 26.

The talk will begin at 10 a.m. Preregistration is required.

Randy Jackson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Agronomy will discuss the Weister Creek habitat restoration site on the west edge of the KVR. The site borders a private grazing operation and a high-quality trout stream.

Those attending the talk should meet at the intersection of County Highway P and 24 Valley Road. The program involves some walking on uneven surfaces.

To register, email kickapoo.reserve@krm.state.wi.us or call (608) 625-2960.
