The future of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s two miles of undeveloped natural areas will be the topic when a panel meets Tuesday night. The Campus Natural Areas Committee is at the start of forming a master plan that will govern the lands over the next 25 years.
The public input session will cover a wide range of issues, from invasive species to trail development, from prairie to savannah to forest, and how the university’s west campus development will affect the natural areas, said Bill Cronon, committee chairman.
