Friends of Horicon Marsh
Who We Are
The Friends of Horicon Marsh are volunteers who believe in the importance of connecting people and wildlife by preserving this 33,000-acre wetland in northern Dodge County and southern Fond du Lac County in Wisconsin — a true Natural Wonder of the World!
What We Do
We treasure the natural beauty of Horicon Marsh and take pride in sharing our knowledge and resources with Wisconsin residents and visitors from around the world.
Working hand-in-hand with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), we provide educational programming and an Education & Visitor Center equipped with rentals to better enjoy the marsh as well as the Explorium, a narrated, interactive exhibit that takes visitors on a journey through time.
Our History
The WDNR Wildlife Education Program has been conducted at the marsh since the mid-1980s. This program focuses on the abundant wildlife resources of the marsh, their ecology and applied management. Public naturalist programs, special events and school education programs aim to connect people with wildlife and their environment by providing outdoor education programs.
