Located in southeast Wisconsin, Horicon Marsh has been formally recognized as a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention of the United Nations. The interior of Horicon Marsh is home to a wide variety of marsh birds, from ducks and geese to pelicans, herons, and egrets. And the scattered woodlands provide home to an array of songbirds.
Each one of these field trips showcases the very best that our region has to offer. No matter which trip you choose, you won’t be disappointed. To learn more about the convention, register and sign-up for one of the amazing field trips mentioned, please visit: audubonconvention.org.
