Would you like to share your knowledge and perspectives on pollinators, their habitats, and alternative lawns? You can do so through a survey while also contributing to the research of Kenosha resident, Chris Kugel, a UW-Extended Campus graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. His anonymous community survey was developed as part of an applied Capstone project for the Sustainable Management degree program.
This 11-question survey will not ask for any personally identifiable information and is specifically offered at this time to Kenosha County residents living West of the Interstate. The survey may be available for one week or longer depending on the number of respondents.
Pollinators and their habitats are on the decline. Your response to this survey will help Chris and others gain insights into what locals know about pollinators and their habitats; and how different segments of our local population respond to a range of strategies that may, in the long-run, benefit pollinators
It takes only 5 to 8 minute to complete the survey. Click here to respond. Thank you for your support of Chris’ studies and for contributing to our understanding of issues related to pollinators, their habitats, and alternative lawns.

The Wheatland Town Board recently approved an extension of a memorandum of understanding allowing that use until Dec. 31, 2025.
The extension, proposed by the county, was unanimously approved by the Wheatland Town Board Nov. 11.
Though several Western Kenosha County municipalities have passed ordinances allowing ATVs on municipal roads, ATV use on county, state and federal highways is still prohibited in most cases.
In January, Wheatland and the county approved a memorandum of understanding allowing ATV use on Highway O to facilitate crossing Highway 50 there. There is a four-way traffic signal at the Highway O/Highway 50 intersection.
The original MOU was valid until Dec. 23, 2024 “at which time both parties shall review the terms of this agreement and determine whether to renew or discontinue this agreement.”
The extensions says since it is uncertain whether the parties will be able to complete the review by Dec. 31, the parties agree to an extension through 2025.
Wheatland board members had little comment on the extension. Chairman Brett Butler said he has not received any complaints about the arrangement. Some board members did say they have not seen many or any crossings of ATVs at Highway O this year since the agreement has been in effect.
“I’m yet to see anyone cross there,” Butler said.
