Oak Savanna Restoration

Oak savanna is one of the rarest and most endangered native ecosystem in North America.  Most of Wisconsin's oak savanna is overgrown with non-native and invasive plant species and has little or no resemblance to the original oak savanna which covered a large part of west, central, and southwest Wisconsin.  The Highland Cattle Oak Savanna Restoration project looked at rotational grazing as a means to help restore degraded oak savanna in southwest Wisconsin.
