MVA Presents Western Wisconsin: the First 13,000 Years
Picture what life was like in Black River Falls 13,000 years ago, with mastodons roaming the woods and people hunting them, along with lots of other large animals. How did people live back then, and how did their lives change as the ice age ended? How did people adapt to the land over time? What kinds of tools did they use, and what were they eating? When were the first farmers in Wisconsin? What is so special about Silver Mound? The answers to these and many more questions will be revealed in the talk: Western Wisconsin: the First 13,000 Years.
On Wednesday February 10th Friends of the Black River is pleased to host Connie Arzigian, Laboratory Director at the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

November 11, 2009 Monthy FBR Meeting: Wetland Gems in Wisconsin and Jackson County
Friends of the Black River will feature Katie Beilfuss from Wisconsin Wetlands Association at 7 PM on Wednesday November 11 for their monthly meeting at the Coop Credit Union. Come learn about the “Wetland Gems” we have in Jackson County. Wetland Gems are high quality habitats that represent the wetland riches—marshes, swamps, bogs, fens, and more—that historically made up a quarter of Wisconsin’s landscape. Located throughout the state of Wisconsin, the Wetland Gems are high-quality representatives of each type of wetland found in each part of the state. Since the early 1800s, nearly half of Wisconsin’s 10 million acres of wetlands have been drained or filled to make way for land uses like agriculture, forestry, and urban and suburban development.
