Inspiring places:

Some of the best news in Wisconsin concerns the addition of many more new State Natural Areas (SNAs) within the past year. See more about this, plus links to information about all of the SNAs, maps and more, at: http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/sna/index.htm

I was in and on the edge of one of my favorite SNAs this weekend, Newport Conifer-Hardwoods SNA, which is within the boundaries of Newport State Park. See more about this lush place at: http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/sna/sna90.htm
