Dane County officials announced on Thursday a plan to buy and preserve the land along the southern shore of Lake Waubesa for public use….Cal DeWitt, a professor of wetland ecology at UW-Madison, has lived near the marsh since he moved to Madison in 1972. DeWitt teaches a course on the wetland for graduate students and has been working with neighbors to preserve the wetlands south of Waubesa since the mid-1970s.
