Prairies of the Pheasant Branch Conservancy
Discover the history of the prairies of the Dane County section of the conservancy. Did you know that there is prairie on the hill that has likely been there for several thousand years? Have you ever wondered how or when the other prairies at Pheasant Branch were planted?
In addition to those topics, the webpage covers prairie maintenance and the county's seed collection and processing operations. This website was compiled by a FOPB volunteer, Tom Klein.
