Join us for an inspiring afternoon with author Marcy West as she shares the remarkable story of the Kickapoo Valley Reserve in her talk, “Protecting Paradise in the Driftless: How the Kickapoo Valley Reserve Came to Be.” This event will illuminate the innovative preservation efforts that have kept the Kickapoo River flowing wild through the Driftless region.Event Highlights:
• Learn about the grassroots activism that led to the creation of the Kickapoo Valley Reserve.
• Discover the unique partnership between the State of Wisconsin and the Ho-Chunk Nation that shaped the Reserve’s future.
• Hear how the failed dam and lake project became a catalyst for cross-cultural collaboration in ecological protection and low-impact recreation.
As a founding member of the initiative and the first Executive Director of the Kickapoo Reserve Management Board (KRMB), Marcy West offers a unique insider's perspective on the tireless efforts of volunteers, local organizations, and government entities that came together to form this vital natural area. She will also discuss the ongoing balance of preservation and recreation that defines the Reserve today.
