The work includes removing trees and other woody vegetation, then planting the clear
areas with a variety of seeds to support pollinators.
That work will take place at several locations across Oneida County, including Woodboro Lakes Wildlife Area, Stag & Row State Wildlife Habitat Area, and the Willow Flowage, as well as Northern Highland American Legion State Forest in Vilas County.

Congressman Van Orden officially filed that paperwork on Friday, seeking a third matchup with Cook following her victory on Tuesday and his victory in the 2024 election.

The city of Beloit is getting more than $6 million to replace lead water service lines in three local neighborhoods.
State officials announced the funding last week, targeting areas with the highest concentration of legacy lead pipes.
The city plans to replace both public and private portions of the lines to ensure clean drinking water for residents.
Construction is scheduled to kick off in early 2027 and will take about three years to complete.
The effort aligns with federal mandates requiring all public water systems to fully eliminate lead lines by 2037.
Meanwhile, the city of Chilton has issued a warning after finding elevated levels of lead drinking water from at least one home.
City officials say they detected the lead during sample testing in July.
They say more than 10% of the 20 samples collected exceeded the action level for lead.
The elevated levels are believed to be due to full or partial lead service lines.
Chilton Water Works is now testing lead and copper on a regular schedule and following corrosion control protocol for the public water supply.
Lead exposure in drinking water can lead to serious problems, including decreased IQ as well as learning and behavioral problems in children.
It can also increase the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, among other things, in adults.
