Join naturalists and educators Molly Fifield Murray and Kathe Crowley Conn
on Thursday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m. for “Driftless Encounters: Perspectives on the Land,”
a virtual discussion and presentation exploring written accounts
of settlers, surveyors and other non-indigenous peoples
who experienced Wisconsin’s Driftless landscape.
A varied cast of historical characters traveled through this undulating landscape of hills and valleys and left memoirs and drawings, illustrating the landscape and describing their encounters with early settlers and Native American sites. Some of these observers were geologists looking for minerals, other were surveyors working for the U.S. government, and still others were studying the traces of First People who lived here when the massive glaciers of the last Ice Age were retreating.
Murray, conservationist and former UW-Madison Arboretum Outreach and Education Manager, and Conn, author of “Juliette Kinzie: Frontier Storyteller” (whose 1830s Driftless travelogue will be included in this discussion) and former Aldo Leopold Center Director, will share snippets of these historic perspectives and related observations and interpretations. Their professional backgrounds, always intersecting and intertwined with the Wisconsin landscape, will lend context and insights.
