Last summer, someone spray-painted the welcome sign to Brice Prairie at the corner of highways ZM and Z with spray paint. Thanks to members of the Brice Prairie Conservation Association, however, a replacement was recently erected.
Laurie Stiers, a club member, stepped forward to offer her talents to create a new sign.
The project grew as did the size of the sign. During the summer, Laurie painted a new sign depicting many of the projects the club does — wood duck and bluebird houses, an emergency shelter for fall hunters and swamp white oaks in planting “tubes.”
In addition, lotus, river birch, wild rice, wildcelery, pickerel weed and arrowhead are among the other typical flora of the region represented in the mural.
The original 4-foot-by-8-foot art work has been framed and is on display at the BPCA clubhouse. A digital reproduction of the mural is now up, replacing the former BPCA “welcome” sign at the junction of highways ZM and Z.
