Horicon Marsh is designated a Wetland of International Importance. Support for the Horicon Marsh Education Program
comes from the Friends group.

In 1994, a grass roots citizen group, the Friends of
Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center was
formed to perpetuate and promote the work of
natural resources and conservation education. The 18,865 square
foot International Education Center addition
illustrates the Friends’ vision and commitment to
environmental education. Support for the Center also
comes through the Friends’ collaborative partnerships with a coalition of state agencies, neighboring counties, city and town councils, and local school boards.
