The Mississippi River flows through Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin
The Mississippi River flows through Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, just above its confluence with the Wisconsin River, in 2019. Increased flooding in the Upper Mississippi has led to changes in the fish and plant life in and around the river, a new report shows. (Mike De Sisti, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

We check in on Wisconsin’s west coast with the editor of Big River magazine. Stories include a tiny freshwater shrimp, the ecological status of the Upper Mississippi and a new wheatgrass that could improve soil health.
