Woods and Wetlands invites you to join our September 21, 2025 Speaker Series. Erin Railsback, Visitor Services Manager with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will introduce the incredible Horicon Marsh, which is just about two hours north in Wisconsin. Horicon Marsh is the largest freshwater marsh in the U. S. It is recognized as a wetland of international importance, with significant bird species and is also a unit of the Ice Age Scientific Reserve.

The northern two-thirds of Horicon Marsh is managed federally by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as the 22,000-acre Horicon National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge was established in 1941 to provide an undisturbed sanctuary for migratory birds and waterfowl including the redhead duck as well as to provide opportunities for people to connect with nature through many wildlife dependent recreational activities such as wildlife observation, photography, environmental education, interpretation, fishing and hunting. The southern third of the marsh, 11,000 acres, is managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as Horicon Marsh State Wildlife Area.

Please join us for the Sunday, September 21 Speaker Series at 7:00 pm via Zoom. As always, this program will be family friendly and welcomes anyone interested in learning about the world-famous Horicon Marsh.
