Join us April 5-7, 2019, in Stevens Point, for the WBBA II Final Season Kickoff. 2019 is slated to be the final year of field work for the Atlas, and we really need your help to complete this monumental effort by next fall. About 15% of Atlas survey blocks have seen little to no survey effort, while an additional 25% still need some work to be marked COMPLETE. Join us to learn where and how we need you most, and why it matters. Together we can finish strong!
