About the Wisconsin Sharptailed Grouse Society

Hello! The Wisconsin Sharp-tailed Grouse (WSGS) is a private, nonprofit organization formed in 1990 by a group of sportsmen, conservationists, and citizens interested in the preservation of sharp-tailed grouse and their habitat in Wisconsin. The sharptail is a flagship species of Wisconsin oak and pine barrens, savannas, sedge meadows, and bog habitats. The objectives of the WSGS are to publicize the sharptails plight in the state; educate the public and resource professionals about sharptails; encourage the management of sharptail habitat; promote both hunting and non-hunting recreational use of sharptails; and influence both state and local decisions that will benefit sharp-tailed grouse and other barrens species.
