Horicon Marsh Naturalist Program Schedule
Each spring and fall, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources offers a series of public naturalist programs to introduce visitors and interested persons to the geology, history, wildlife and management of the Horicon Marsh ecosystem. Programs will be conducted at the DNR Field Office, located on the north end of Palmatory Street, in the City of Horicon. All programs are free and open to the public. No registration is required.
All hikes allow for easy walking and good access to the marsh. Most programs will run for about one hour. For more information, please call Bill Volkert at (920) 387-7877
