Free Thought Forum: “The Transformation of the Former Badger Army Ammunition Plant”

Charlie Luthin, director of the Sauk Prairie Conservation Alliance, will talk about the transformation of the former 7,400-acre Badger Army Ammunition Plant to a large open, mostly public landscape dating back 20 years, when the Army announced the decommissioning of the plant. In December 1997, a group of conservation-minded citizens gathered to discuss this remarkable opportunity„a chance to convert a military facility with 1,400 buildings into a green space. Charlie will share this remarkable transformation story with a video and commentary. Free Congregation of Sauk County, Park Hall, 307 Polk St., (608) 643-3131, www.freecongregation.org.
