Trail Work Threatens Rare Iris in Wisconsin | Green Bay News

Wisconsin’s DNR is moving forward with resurfacing the Brachiopod Trail at Whitefish Dunes State Park — a project that could impact the threatened dwarf lake iris. While the trail upgrades aim to improve accessibility and public safety, the DNR admits potential “incidental take” of the rare plant and has proposed a plan to minimize harm, including relocation efforts. The authorization is only for the state-listed species, not federally protected ones. Public comment is open until August 21 — your voice matters in this conservation vs. infrastructure debate.
