Get to Know YOUR Horicon Marsh: Earth Day Celebration

Help celebrate the Earth and your Horicon Marsh! Bring your family out to the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center to discover all the incredible wildlife that makes YOUR marsh such a special place.

 

Families can complete a free self-guided scavenger hunt with hands-on activities in and around the Education Center to be entered for a Flyway Gift Shop prize drawing.

 

Examine animal artifacts, meet hard-to-find critters in person, and even take a look under the water as you learn about all kinds of Wisconsin wildlife. You will have the opportunity to solve a nature mystery or two and have the chance to take a selfie with our lovable snapping turtle, Marshall.

 

Marty Harding and Gary Noren, co-authors of Fam: The Remarkable Story of a Canada Goose Adopted by Sandhill Cranes, will bring their beloved true-life book to life at 11 am and 1 pm! Told through Marty’s words and Gary’s stunning photography, Fam follows three years in the life of this extraordinary blended family – a heartwarming story of love, inclusion, and belonging. Join them for a reading and book signing at 11 am and 1 pm that will delight children and nature lovers of all ages. Books will be available for purchase.

 

We’ll also have reduced Explorium admission rates of $3 per person all day, and children 4 and under will be free. Join us at the marsh as we explore special creatures in a special place.

 

Free and no registration required. The event will be at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center located at N7725 State Highway 28, Horicon, WI 53032.
