Wisconsin Wonderful!

Corrie Daniels, working for healthy ecosystems.

Wow! What a beautiful state and fantastic people!  Today we visited Corrie Daniels and her crew at Taylor Creek Restoration Nursery in Brodhead, WI.

Taylor Creek and sister company Applied Ecological Services, have been around for over 30 years providing native plants grown from locally collected seed as well as ecological design and restoration services.  Founder and sustainability visionary, Steve Apfelbaum, started all this back when “green” was just a color. We will be following Steve in the coming months to explore his approach to land use which brings ecological science to the design process creating a balance between human needs and ecosystem health.  Corrie says of her boss, “Steve is a dynamo. His passion, his absolute passion, is to bring health back to the earth.” Stayed tuned for more on this Wisconsin Habitat Hero!
