In 1994, a grass roots citizen group, the Friends of Horicon Marsh International Education Center was formed to perpetuate and promote the work of natural resources and conservation education. Support for the Horicon Marsh Education Program comes from the Friends group. 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.
