A clutch of the latest stories from Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance
Jim Hess was just awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Bluebird Restoration Association of Wisconsin (BRAW) in recognition of the 25 years he has spent building, installing, and monitoring bluebird houses near his home in rural Blanchardville. For many of those years he has mentored bluebird lovers in Lafayette and Grant Counties to do the same. Please use this link to a story in the Monroe Times with more information on Jim's great accomplishments.

If you know Mark Martin and Sue Foote-Martin, you know they live, breathe, talk, and dream about conservation. Independently, their careers have made a huge difference in how Wisconsin values and manages natural resources. And together, their impact as long-time Goose Pond Sanctuary managers is almost immeasurable. Almost.
This past Wednesday, we joined Gathering Waters and the conservation community in celebrating Mark and Sue, recipients of the 2021 Harold "Bud" Jordahl Lifetime Achievement Award. Congratulations to Mark and Sue!
