Stretching across Wisconsin ’ s midsection is a geographic area known as the “ Tension Zone ,” a gently curving strip of land where northern vegetation meets southern , where cooler climates meet warmer , and where animal and plant life from north and south have adapted to call the same neighborhood home .
“ It ’ s a fantastic blend of unique habitats ,” observed Randy Tuma , taking in the view from his office window at Bubolz Nature Preserve near Appleton , Wisconsin . “ Our location here within the state ’ s Tension Zone allows us to see mountain bluebirds , timber wolves , black bear , bobcats , fishers , and diverse wildlife from the forest , prairie , and meadowland all in one place .”
