UW-Green Bay-led wild rice planting continues to make headlines

The efforts of area conservation professionals and volunteers in restoring the Bay of Green Bay by seeding wild rice have not gone unnoticed. This UW-Green Bay led project was featured in a news story on TheCountryToday.com. Amy Carrozzino-Lyon, Green Bay Restoration Project Coordinator at UW-Green Bay was quoted saying, “Wild rice is one of our native plants, so we’re really interested in reintroducing the plant back into the ecosystem. One of the benefits is providing an important food source for wildlife that depend on this.”
