Featured in this Show

  • Regional Bluffland Protection

    The unique geology of the Driftless Area’s bluffs is adored by people who love to get out in nature, but it’s considered prime real estate to others. There’s a new effort underway among leaders in La Crosse County to develop a regional bluffland protection plan to preserve the natural resource and limit development. La Crosse City Planner Larry Kirch and Mississippi Valley Conservancy Board President Pat Caffrey weigh in on the collaboration.

    Nature and silent sports like biking, hiking and fishing have always been a big reason why people love the Coulee Region. Now groups like the Outdoor Recreation Alliance and the La Crosse Area Convention and Visitors Bureau are working together to improve the chances the area will become even more of a destination for silent sports enthusiasts from around the World.
