Day 1 Virtual Field Trip - Don't Miss Out! Although Wisconsin's Forward Wind farm is too far to visit, the Annual Meeting will bring this wind farm to you! This "virtual field trip" will show you how large-scale development of land-based wind turbines has progressed near Horicon Marsh, home to diverse wildlife such as Canada geese, ducks, heron, water birds and other species. Participants will hear preliminary results of wildlife interaction monitoring at the wind farm and how wildlife studies are carried out in the field. This should be an exciting and educational experience so be sure to sign up!
