A massive proposed Wisconsin solar farm could wreak havoc on threatened prairie chickens
March 2, 2024
The plan for a massive solar energy development in Portage County has caused conservationists to sound the alarm over the project’s potential detrimental impacts to Wisconsin’s threatened population of greater prairie chickens.
The Vista Sands Solar Farm would span about 8,500 acres in the towns of Buena Vista, Grant and Plover. As proposed it would be the state’s largest solar development.
