Outdoor Education Update As part of an expanded education program at the new Horicon Marsh International Education Center, we have developed a guest speaker program. These presentations are intended to provide programs on a wide range of natural resource and environmental topics that may be of interest to people in the area.
We will be kicking off our 2010 lecture series with DNR speaker Ron Gatti on January 13th. His topic is Duck Survival and Production in Wisconsin and will be focusing on blue-winged teal.
All lectures are on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m in the auditorium. The education center is located between the towns of Horicon and Mayville on Hwy. 28, please use the lower entrance.
