Wings Over Wisconsin Properties
One of the many goals of Wings Over Wisconsin as an organization is the acquisition of property through purchases or donations. These properties are then protected and restored back to native habitat or planted with food plots to provide winter cover or food to wildlife. The Waupun chapter purchased the first property for the organization in 1984. Since then, an additional 10 parcels have been acquired through other purchases or donations. Today, our total acreage managed is 1,360 acres by 8 different chapters and the Executive Board of Wings Over Wisconsin. Wings has partnered with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, United States Natural Resource Conservation Service, Farm Services Administration, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the NRCS Wetland Reserve Program to obtain funding for projects that would include constructing scrapes, or shallow ponds, native prairie restoration and wetland restoration. Each chapter determines its goals for their property. The individual properties have completed projects that include planting prairie grasses, planting trees, constructing ponds, planting food plots, erecting bird and wood duck houses and releasing pheasant or quail to help restore the bird populations in Wisconsin. Although some of the properties are open to the public for walking or nature viewing, these properties are not open to public hunting of any kind. In some instances, youth hunts are held on the properties, but it is not open to the public for such use. Each chapter determines the rules and restrictions for its property. That way it can be monitored and tailored to its specific wants and needs. Just a reminder that these are private properties, so please contact the individual chapter presidents for access restrictions.
