		Section 59.17(5) of the Statutes requires the county executive to "...annually, and otherwise as may be necessary, communicate to the board the condition of the county, and shall recommend such matters to the board for its consideration as he or she considers expedient.

	EARLY HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA
		Buena Vista had played its role in logging off the pine, in settling the country, in educating the children, in providing a church for all denominations, and in fulfilling the dreams of those who suffered the hardships of pioneer life.
		To the left of the portage is a small pond, connecting with Lac des Morts, and between this and Hill Lake is a low swamp, through which the waters flowing north and south of the dividing ridge must connect in times of high water.
		Whatever went on in other parts of the county, the relations between Buena Vista and the Red Lake Band seem to have been good; certainly they were with J.W.Speelman, who did not object to their portaging over his land from Lake Julia to Little Turtle.

		WTA wanted to put a world-class shooting range on the Buena Vista Marsh in the southwestern corner of Portage County but ran afoul of those who saw it as a threat to wildlife, especially the threatened prairie chicken, and a disruption of quiet country life.
		The Buena Vista Marsh is the biggest, and one of the last, strongholds of the threatened prairie chicken in Wisconsin, and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages thousands of acres there for the species.
		Kent Hall, retired biology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, represented the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology and said the grasslands on the Buena Vista Marsh are important for the well-being of a mix of bird species.

	The drummer of love -- Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine -- February 2006
		It takes a lot of land to support even this small number of birds, and approximately 12,000 acres of land on the Buena Vista Grasslands of southwestern Portage County are managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to provide the needed wide horizons and habitat for prairie chickens.
		In addition, prairie chickens can be found in outlying grasslands from the Medford area of Taylor County southeast to the Leola grasslands in Adams County particularly on the state wildlife areas known as Mead, Dewey, Paul J. Olson and Buena Vista.
		By then, their urgent call for habitat protection prompted private groups like the Dane County Conservation League and the Society of Tympanuchus Cupido Pinnatus to purchase over 12,000 acres of land that was subsequently leased to the Wisconsin Conservation Department to establish a grassland management program.
