The UW loves its natural areas unnatural as they may be.

Of the 936 acres of area on central campus, 325 of them are classified as natural
areas. These include Muir Woods, the Lakeshore Path, the Class of 1918 Marsh,
Picnic Point, University Bay, Frautschi Point, the North Shore Woods, Eagle
Heights, and the Lake Mendota Footpath. Then theres the UW Arboretum, which
adds up to 1,262 acres more. That totals 1,587 acres of parkland out of the 2,198 that
the UW owns in Madison: 72 percent of the land area on campus.

But as youll see in Trial by Fire, it isnt easy to take care of the UWs natural
spaces and its not a task the university leaves entirely up to nature. That article
discusses efforts to tame the prairie through the art of external combustion. And the
Arb is hardly the only campus natural area that has relied on human intervention.

Take Picnic Point, the wooded peninsula below Eagle Heights on the far west side
of campus. Seventy years ago, it was a farm and orchard. The UW purchased the land in
1941. University officials talk about the Native American burial mounds that dot this
bit of land, but other, less ancient things are buried there, as well. The UW has interred
the carcasses of a giraffe, an elephant, and a rhino there. And in summers, an anthropology class has met on the Point to study how to make stone tools. Students chip
away at flint rocks to make axes and arrowheads, then discard their work in a heap, for
future archaeology students to unearth while studying excavation techniques.

So next time youre in a campus natural area, keep your eyes open theres a lot
going on beyond nature.
On, Wisconsin!

Ryan Wubben MD97
COURTESY OF UW HOSPITAL AND CLINICS
BADGERING
Eight questions with an
alumnus on the move
By Brian Klatt
It used to be that a picture was worth
a thousand words. Nowadays its more
like a thousand tweets. At least it was
for WAA member Ryan Wubben MD97,
whose aerial shot of downtown Madison
went semi-viral after he posted it to
Twitter. Along with being a skilled pilot
and an amateur shutterbug, Wubben is
the medical director of UW Med Flight
the helicopter emergency medical
services and critical-care aeromedicaltransport division of UW Health.
Whats it like when your job is essentially
to fly in and save the day?
Ive been doing this now for about
fourteen years, and when the alarm goes
off to go on a flight, if we know there
are serious injuries, it still can be anxiety
provoking. You get your game on. Usually I sit up front on outbound flights
and talk to the landing-zone commander
to get coordinates, telephone-wire situation, that sort of thing. Then its about
getting patient information. We try to
perform most of what we need to do
with patients on the ground because of
the confines of space in the helicopter
and the fact were strapped in.
Where did you get your love of flying?
My dad is a private pilot, so I had been
exposed to aviation from an early age.
My family goes up to Door County a lot.
And one of the things my dad and I have
done is a lighthouse run flying from
Sturgeon Bay up to Rock Island, taking
pictures of all the lighthouses.
4 BADGER Insider
bi_summer_14.indb 4
Where do you like to

fly when youre not
on duty?
Probably the highlight of my year, flying-wise, is setting
a course for Oshkosh during the EAA
(Experimental Aircraft Associations)
Airventure. Ive been volunteering at the
EAA since I was sixteen. There is a core
group of people Ive volunteered with
since the 80s. Its a family atmosphere.
You almost pick up the conversations you
left off with the year before.
Have you ever piloted the Med Flight
helicopter?
No, there are certain rules about that.
Ive actually logged some time flying the
same type of helicopter, though, but it
was in Norway.
How often do the Med Flight helicopters
go out?
We usually go out about three to four
times a day. We do anywhere from 1,200
to 1,300 flights a year.
How did the picture that turned you into a
bit of a social media sensation happen?
That was totally a random event. We were
just taking off on Med Flight. It was kind
of a cloudy day, but a shaft of sunlight was
hitting downtown just right. I thought,

Oh, thats cool. So I took a picture with
my cell phone, and that night put it on my
Twitter. When I woke up the next day, I
went, Whoa. Twitter exploded!
Whats your following on Twitter like
these days?
The reason I joined Twitter was to network with physicians in the air-medical
world around the globe, because of the
unusual nature of what we do. That was
the original intent, and it still is. But
because of my aerial pictures of the
isthmus, the vast majority of the people
following me on Twitter are probably
from the Madison area now.
Whats been your most memorable Med
Flight experience?
I have a big collection of memories.
Unfortunately, the tragic calls tend to
overshadow the good ones. Unlike on
TV, things dont always work out. But
you try to silo those off into their own
little world.

I read your request about your

Varsity, so heres my story. As a
1997 grad, I knew all the words, of
course. In 2003, I married a Boilermaker. (Dont judge me. Hes
awesome and a Badger hockey
season-ticket holder.) When we
had our daughter in 2007, I started
singing Varsity as a lullaby. At
her first Badger football game,
she asked how everyone knew her
lullaby. Mission accomplished!

With a lake to the north and the Arboretum to the south, the UW campus is the
meat in a big ol nature sandwich. Perhaps thats why spending time outdoors is
such a large part of the Wisconsin Experience. We asked our readers to tell us their
favorite campus natural spaces and why those spaces are favorites. Your responses
show that from Muir Woods to Picnic Point to Devils Lake, Badgers like to mix in a

Log On
When I needed some serenity time from

the pressures of studying, I would walk
the Lakeshore Path from Liz Waters
Hall to Picnic Point, sit on a log at the
end, and contemplate the waves on the
water. The walk itself was good to get
the blood moving and the spirits soaring
while observing the wildlife in the trees
and on the water.
Signe Bohrnstedt Buchholz 66
Verona, Wisconsin
Spring Fling
April 1978 was very hot, and Barnard had no A/C. My friend Marnee
Loefler and I would go walking late at
night after studying to try to cool off.
We liked to walk along Bascom Hill.
There were flowering trees there, and
the petals fell like snow. They smelled
great, and we would throw them at
each other.
Deborah Myers 79
Lake in the Hills, Illinois
Theres Waters and There Are Waters
I lived in Liz Waters my freshman year.

I loved to go behind the building and sit
on the banks of Lake Mendota. It was so
peaceful. It was also very pretty at Picnic
Point. I loved the lake, as lakes had
been such a wonderful memory for me
from my childhood of going to northern
Wisconsin.
Donna Rossiter Roberts 61
Green Bay, Wisconsin
Flower Power
The Botany Garden between Chamberlin

and Lathrop Halls on University Avenue
was a refuge to deep-breathe before
spring finals. For some unknown reason,
sitting on the small bench tucked into
the trees on the southwest corner of the
garden alongside the exotic plantings
foreign to our climate did the trick,
and I return as often as I can when in
Madison. Can you help me recall the
dedication associated with that bench?
Tom Neubauer 67
Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin
Editors Note: The bench dedication may
have changed since your time on campus, as
the Botany Garden was razed in 2003 and
reopened in 2004. Today, the bench in the
southwest corner, which sits under a ginkgo
tree and faces a sculpture called The Seed
by Susan Falkman, is dedicated to Peter R.
Anderson.
Bell Canto
I loved the Carillon Tower and the

music of the bells.
Mary Bonn Roth 55

Yeti or Not?
The Arboretum is a great place to recenter yourself and achieve spiritual

oneness. Its only a short walk from
campus, but Im pretty sure there may be

make for a perfect spring tonic.

I always looked forward to good weather

and the relaxing walk along the path by

the walk with a picnic lunch or just
something to drink.

Land of the Lost
I was older than the average student,

having gone to college elsewhere for
a couple of years, dropped out, and
returned to school five years later with
a wife and young daughter. We lived in
an apartment complex off Fish Hatchery Road south of Madison, tucked into
a corner of the Arboretum. To get to
class, I would take my bike on a shortcut through the woods and then ride
along Lake Wingra. Deer, raccoon, and
muskrat were my occasional traveling
companions.
On the weekends, when my wife
had time off from her job at Madison
General Hospital, we would all venture
into the Arboretum for relaxation.

Near our apartment, an abandoned
street was being taken back by the
woods the Lost City Forest and
more than once we enjoyed a picnic
there (against the rules, but we cleaned
up after ourselves).
Best of all was the Curtis Prairie,
with its grasses and flowers changing
through the seasons. After a fast ride
along the curves of Arboretum Road
on the back of my bike, our little girl
(now a nurse, following in her mothers
footsteps) would play among the spring
and summer blossoms.

UW Trivia, or News You Cant Use
Sometimes after a long days labor, one

must go to the cups. Or to the steins, if you
happen to be a student worker at der
Stiftskeller, the bar and billiards room at the
edge of the Memorial Unions Rathskeller.
For around thirty years, student
employees have been leaving notes and
tokens in the collection of seventy-four
decorative beer mugs on display in der
Stiftskeller. No one (or, at least, no on whos
talking) knows exactly how the tradition
began, but starting in the early 1980s, it
became a rite of passage for students to
add something to one of steins at the end
of their final shift selling popcorn, pretzels,
and beer to Rathskeller patrons.
The stein offerings include around
thirty personal notes, love (and hate)
letters, recipes for hangover cures, a mock
graduation speech, two screenplays, a
poem covered in popcorn kernels, an $8
bill, a small pair of metal tongs dedicated
to the hot pretzel machine, and, perhaps
most disturbingly, a petrified Oreo.
The practice went undetected by the
Union powers-that-be until the renovation
of der Stiftskeller in 2013, when the steins
were removed to prevent damage during
construction. The contents were catalogued
and then re-entombed the cookie
included. The steins, and their treasures,
remain in storage for now but eventually
will be returned to their display shelves.
Among the clutter are a few gems of
insight about the transformational nature
of working in a campus bar. Take, for
example, these words of wisdom left by
Sabrina Wienholtz 01, who may be better known by her Stiftskeller persona of
Tunnel Submarina: Never, ever admit
to talking like sausage. More cryptically,
she also offered this observation: Lids
and straws lids and straws.
Some left only a signature (such as
Rich the Deli Hama Burris 91) or a
short declaration, like this one by Colin K.
Gavin 94: I used a ladder to get up here.
Many of the stein notes are tinged
with a sense of acute nostalgia possible
only for those in their early twenties.
Against these walls and around these

Beer-ing their souls: Stiftskeller student workers left secret notes and tokens in the Unions stein collection.
arches I have thrown my thoughts and

dreams, wrote Brad Van Den Elzen 93.
It is with a full heart that I leave this
place and the family I have made here, but
the time has come, said a student who
signed off as Minty.
One appeared to recognize his time at
der Stiftskeller was but one drop in a beer
barrel of a campus legacy, and it is to him,

Jason Stienmetz, that I give the last word:
A lot of people have come and gone
from this place, and a lot more are
sure to continue our legacy. But J-ball
was here once, and he wont forget.

Trial by Fire
For eighty years, the UW Arboretum has blazed new trails
in prairie restoration
by Sandra Knisely 09, MA13
To the casual observer, Curtis Prairie is a peaceful place. The central (and
original) land tract at the UW Arboretum is a seventy-three-acre oasis for
tall grasses and the wildflowers tucked among them species that have been
growing on Wisconsin prairies since the Ice Age.
Yet the chirping birds and sweeping grasses conceal a warzone. For more
than a century, native plants have been under siege, and sometimes the best,
and only, way to protect these ancient inhabitants from their creeping enemies
is to burn them all.

Dawn breaks over the UW Arboretum.

JEFF MILLER, UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS
SUMMER 2014 17

his year marks the UW Arboretums eightieth anniversary.

One of the lasting scientific contributions from the countrys
first restored prairie is a series of experiments showing that
controlled burning is absolutely essential for helping
native plant life to survive.
We only have one-tenth of 1 percent of native prairie left in
Wisconsin, says Arboretum ecologist Brad Herrick. Its a vital
resource that is very rare, and people are understanding more and
more that once these communities are gone, theyre gone forever.
Though modern Arboretum land managers and volunteers know
much more than their predecessors about how to use fire for
conservation, they also face an increasing number of man-made
barriers to burning and native species could end up in the crossfire.
An ecosystem in ashes
Arboretum researchers believe that
certain natural processes are as much a
part of the prairie ecosystem as are plants
and animals. Fire is one of the most

fundamental of these processes, and
many prairie species have evolved to
thrive in an environment that regularly
experiences large, intense wildfires.
However, even though prairie plants

can do things like grow fire-resistant
bark or germinate in scorched soil, they
were unable to cope with the rapid landscape changes wrought by agriculture.
By the early 1930s, the land that is now
Curtis Prairie was an abandoned farm
overrun by Kentucky bluegrass, an
invasive, non-native plant used for
livestock grazing and often found in lawn
and turf mixes. The bluegrass roots had
turned the soil into a dense sod that had
all but choked out the native plants.
When the UW acquired the field in
1934 to establish the Arboretum, no one
not even founding director and famed
conservationist Aldo Leopold quite

knew what to do with it. Over the course

of the next decade, Arboretum leaders
began to transplant native sod from other
Midwest prairie remnants and to dabble
with controlled-burning techniques.
Prior to European settlement, American
Indians had regularly burned prairie in
the area, and conservationists suspected
that native plants just needed a little
room to breathe and bounce back.
In 1948, plant ecology professor John
T. Curtis, the prairies eventual namesake,
and Max Partch PhD49 published the
first scientific paper to directly attribute a
reduction in an invasive-species population to controlled burning. In this case,
the researchers were able to significantly
decrease the abundance of Kentucky

bluegrass, which allowed native species
to better compete and even take hold
in certain areas of Curtis Prairie. After
the paper, fire became a core tool for
generations of Arboretum researchers
and land-care managers. They burned the
prairie regularly at the beginning of each
spring and later carried the practice to
additional land acquisitions.
A lot of whats known about fire
started here, says Herrick. Anyone who
utilizes burning in their management has
been indirectly impacted by the studies
that happened here. Even if they dont
know the research was done [at the
UW], theyre benefiting.
Burn practices remained fairly

unchanged until the 1980s, when a new
invader swept into Curtis Prairie. White
sweet clover, a biennial legume, was
proliferating, and it had fire to thank in
part for its success: early spring burns
always missed the clover blooms.
Botany professor and long-time
conservation advocate Virginia Kline 47,
MS75, PhD76 decided it was time to
mix things up. She found that alternating the schedule to burn in early spring
one year and in late spring the next made
a major dent in the abundance of sweet
clover. In the first year, the fire stimulated
germination, depleting the seed bank in
the soil. In the second year, the fire killed

off the flowering plants before they could

seed again.
If you burn the same way over and
over, decade after decade, a fire will start
to help certain plants and harm certain
plants, says Michael Hansen, the
Arboretum land manager who heads the
fire crew and oversees every burn. If you
mix it up, then your actions are having a
more diverse effect. Youll favor and harm
a different suite of species.
No job for blue jeans

For Hansen, a successful fire is, quite
simply, a safe fire a concept that has
evolved gradually at the Arboretum.
In the early pictures, the people
doing fires were usually university
researchers, wearing what they wore to
teach class, or women in dresses, he
says. Even more recently, maybe from
the 70s, 80s, or early 90s, you would
see them wearing flannel shirts and blue
jeans. No gloves, no helmet. You would
never see that today.
Todays fire crew is composed of
approximately eight Arboretum staff and
select volunteers who have completed
entry-level firefighting training. They
wear special outfits, comlete with fireretardant pants and shirts, eye
equipment, and gloves.
The general burn seasons run from
late fall until it snows and again in
spring, usually from April to May. The
crew tries to get in as many burns as
possible, but some seasons, such as the
overly wet spring of 2013, conditions
never allowed for even a single fire.
Hansen and his colleagues write
up burn plans months in advance with
clearly outlined objectives for each fire.
Then they wait for the weather to
cooperate. If a good forecast holds true
on the morning of a scheduled burn,
Hansen will go through a checklist and
make sure firebreaks are in place. These
are either natural features, such as water
courses, or man-made elements, such as
roads or strips of razed land.
The team will then test a small
portion of land to make sure the fire
behaves as expected. If the flames are
bigger than the crew anticipates or the
wind shifts, they must reschedule. But
20 BADGER Insider
if the test goes as planned, the team will

split into two groups of three or four.
Theyll light the fire downwind and move
it slowly into the wind, with each group
moving in opposite directions around the
burn land.
Every member of the crew carries a
backpack filled with water that is sprayed
to guide the fire along its intended path.
By the time the fire makes it to the opposite side of the land unit, its typically
small enough to be put out simply by
stepping on it.
Flames against a flood

Hansen bears the responsibility of
keeping a long-time Arboretum practice
alive, but unpredictable weather isnt his
only obstacle theres also bureaucracy.
I got into this line of work to protect
the plants and animals that need land
set aside and actively managed to protect
them, Hansen says. I know fire is only
going to get harder to use as a tool to
restore land. I realize I have to do a good
job, do it safely, and be an advocate so that
[fire] can continue to be used.
Curtis Prairie is surrounded on all
sides by signs of urban life, as its borders
are close to hospitals, schools, public
parks, and several homes. The Beltline, a
major highway, slices through its middle.
This tricky location means that Hansen
has to look at a complex menu of factors
before even scheduling a burn.
Each year the Arboretum receives
a permit from the city, which specifies a
narrow range of temperatures, humidity
levels, wind speeds, and wind directions
during which a burn can take place. For
instance, Hansens team cant burn with
any sort of north wind, which would
drive smoke in the direction of the
thousands of cars on the Beltline.
In addition to the rules, urban
structures also complicate burn practices.
Three storm sewers from Madison-area
suburbs drain into Curtis Prairie, carrying
in outside soils and excess nutrients.
Further, runoff keeps the ground wetter
than it would be naturally. In fact, some
acres in the nearby, smaller Greene
Prairie are now so saturated that wetland
vegetation is taking hold, and its begun
spreading to Curtis Prairie.
Reed canary grass is a particularly

aggressive species. It seems to benefit from
the open spaces created by fire, so land
managers have had to turn to other
strategies to control it, with limited
success.
But Hansen, Herrick, and their
colleagues are far from surrender in
their ongoing war against native and
non-native invasives. They are currently
exploring plans to try burning during the
summer months. Though the logistical
challenges of burning during the hottest
time of the year are substantial, they
anticipate that burning during growing
season could kill off significant numbers
of invaders.
A canary with petals

One of the Arboretums core goals is to
maintain species diversity and, where
possible, to expand it. But for Herrick,
biodiversity is more than a research
agenda. Its an ethical imperative.
I think we have a moral obligation
on some level, he says. Who are we
to do things that would make or allow
these plants to go extinct? We dont fully
understand what we have yet [to know]
what we are losing.
Preserving the right balance of
species is an ongoing challenge for
Arboretum staff, but the presence of a
particular and very popular plant
family indicates that their efforts are
making a difference.
In 1938 the Wisconsin State Journal
published a scathing letter by Leopold
addressed to an anonymous wildflower
enthusiast who appeared to have dug up
the Arboretums last remaining yellow
ladys-slipper orchid.
The University of Wisconsin has
got the notion, perhaps a foolish one,
that the privilege of seeing a ladyslipper
[sic] in the woods has got something to
do with education, Leopold wrote. For
this reason, it is acquiring an arboretum
Perhaps, after all, our students would
learn a lot if we took them out there and
said: Here is where we used to have a
ladyslipper.
The Arboretums orchids continue
to evoke strong public interest and
the protective instincts of its scientists.
6/17/14 1:03 PM
Several small orchid populations can be

found on Arboretum lands. However, to
prevent wildlife vandalism, staff members
are careful not to publicize their exact
locations. The definitive guidebook to
plant life in the Arboretum, Prairie
Plants of the University of Wisconsin
Arboretum, lists six orchid species as being
present, including the eastern prairie
fringed orchid, a flower as fragile as
the snowflakes its flared, white petals
resemble. The orchid was once a common
sight on Midwest prairies but is now on
the federal threatened-species list. In
2005, only a single specimen was found
in the Arboretums Greene Prairie.
Wisconsin is home to almost fifty
orchid species. That may seem like a
lot, but orchidaceae is actually one of the
largest plant families in the world, with
around 25,000 species. The incredible
diversity of orchidaceae has inspired
generations of researchers interested in
plant diversity, from Charles Darwin to
Ken Cameron, a botany professor who
directs the Wisconsin State Herbarium

and runs a lab at the UW that is dedicated
to orchid biology.
In a recent survey of orchid
populations across Wisconsin, Cameron
and his graduate students found that
Dane County is home to around thirty
species, making it the fifth most diverse
county in the state. He says preserved
land areas serve as refuges for the flowers.
There is just so little native prairie
left in North America that these orchids
are barely hanging on, Cameron says.
Were fortunate that in Dane County,
we have quite a lot of protected land
[managed by the Arboretum] that gives
more places for these orchids to grow.
Native orchids are a finicky bunch
overall. They are dependent on fungi in the
ground to help them obtain nutrition from
the poor soils they typically inhabit. Thats
partly why digging up and transplanting
orchids often dooms them; they cant
survive for long without the fungi nearby.
In general, prairie orchids arent as showy
as the tropical varieties depicted in movies

and books. Unlike those tree-dwelling
cousins, Wisconsin orchids grow on the
ground, and fire is an important element
for encouraging their growth. Many species
are short but need direct sunlight, so they
benefit from periodic burns that clear off
surrounding, taller plant life.
Because they are so delicate, the
presence of orchids at all is taken as a
sign of a balanced ecosystem. Cameron
says that these flowers often serve as
the canary in the coal mine in terms of
gauging the health of their environment.
Orchids tie together this web of
life, he says. They need fungi, insects
and other plants around them to create
an ecosystem. Break that web and it
collapses it cant survive. We cant
protect the species without protecting
the whole ecosystem.

Badger families grow larger every year. This last spring, these two family trees sprouted
new branches, with the graduation of new generations of alumni.
n Kelly Adkins 14
of Plymouth, Minnesota, became the tenth member of her

family to graduate from UW-Madison.
Patriarchal Badger James Garvey 48
started the tradition. His four children
followed in his footsteps: Michael
Garvey 77, MBA80; Timothy Garvey
79, MBA80; Patrice Garvey Emond
82; and Maureen Garvey Adkins 82.
Maureen is Kellys mother. Kellys
cousins Tom Garvey 07, MD14;
Patrick Garvey 08; and Sean Garvey
12 all graduated from the UW, as did
brother Anthony Adkins 12. Trailing
behind her are three more Badgers:
Conor Garvey, Daniel Garvey, and
Timothy Garvey, all x16.

n Jane Hohman 14 (above, second from right) joined a long line of Badger alumni in
May. Her great-grandfather, Herman Sachtjen 1909, LLB1911 began the parade.
His earliest memories of Madison went back to the Gay Nineties, when lamplighters lit the gas lights around the Square and mules drew the streetcars, says
Janes grandmother, Sylvia Sachtjen Payne 56 (left, and above center). In 1910 (his
university years), the population of Madison was 25,000. Its ten times that today,
and 400,000 strong across Dane County. Sylvia followed her five brothers to the
UW and now lives on Longboat Key, Florida.

THANK YOU
JEFF MILLER, UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS
Thank you, loyal Badgers

Your membership dollars make a difference!
This summer marks the fourteenth year that WAA has hosted Grandparents University (GPU) at UW-Madison. Each
July, the program brings children between the ages of seven and fourteen to campus to attend classes with a grandparent, as
well as stay in a residence hall, enjoy a picnic, and explore some of the UWs most popular and historic locations. Some of
the children who took part in GPUs early sessions are full-time students at the UW today.

Over the years, GPU has grown in popularity. There are now three sessions each summer, serving a total of 1,400
participants a number than has increased by about a hundred a year. Grandparent-grandchild pairs choose a major to
study, and this year the number of options increased to twenty-five, with the addition of two new majors: 3D Printing and
South Pole Science.

We wouldnt be able to offer GPU or any of the other events in our alumni learning program without the funding we
receive from membership dues. You help to keep the UW active in the lives of Badgers long after they leave campus and
well before they arrive as freshmen.
Thank you, and On, Wisconsin!
