Jim Theler and Suzanne Harris are using fire and sweat to restore a hillside prairie.

There is a lot of buried history on a hillside prairie in Vernon County. Jim Theler and Suzanne Harris are using fire and sweat to restore the mound to its pre-European condition as an oak savanna full of native plants and animals. Add in a rock shelter used by Native Americans for thousands of years and you can see why Jim and Suzanna want to stay here forever.
