For the Daily Tribune • March 19, 2010 - Visiting Quincy Bluff and Wetland Area in Adams County provides a rare opportunity to experience one of Wisconsin's globally imperiled ecosystems: the oak-pine barrens. The vastness of the area allows views from the sandstone mesas that are without evidence of human influence.
Quincy Bluff is owned and managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and by The Nature Conservancy. Together, these organizations have begun restoration of the barrens communities. Prior to settlement, the open landscape of the barrens was maintained by fire. Fire was used by American Indians and occurred naturally during thunderstorms. However, since the 1930s, fire has been absent from Quincy Bluff because of fire control.
