In Wisconsin Reporter Jo Garrett reports on the historical significance of the corps' work. Some hunters are concerned that Wisconsin deer herds are being decimated by predators. In Wisconsin Reporter Frederica Freyberg looks at how the DNR is responding to the issue with a massive field research project never before attempted in Wisconsin. A report by In Wisconsin Reporter Andy Soth on Increase Lapham kicks-off a new WPT initiative titled "Quest," a project that delves into issues about Wisconsin's environment. Named Wisconsin's first great scientist, Lapham was a self-taught renaissance man who dabbled in botany, archaeology, forestry and climatology.
