Natural Beauty
Selected Articles from the La Crosse Tribune newspaper

La Crosse Public Library staff selected the following subjects to highlight from the La Crosse Area Clipping File. While these include just a taste of the vast materials available at the Library, we invite you to please contact us with any specific question you may have about the La Crosse area. Our thanks to the La Crosse Tribune for their permission in bringing you these materials.  We tried to create printable images and the paper size and orientation are given after the title of the article.

Because these are links to images, your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 7.0+) may automatically shrink the images. You can then leave your cursor over the image and a tool bar will appear and you can then resize the image.

Natural Beauty

One of the features residents and newcomers like about La Crosse is its natural beauty located so close to their work and home environments. Topics in this category range from towering bluffs, urban wetlands (the marsh) and bird life in the Seven Rivers Region (Coulee Region).
