Educator Open House



     Area educators of all grade levels are invited to enjoy a summer outing at Marsh Haven Nature Center before the school year begins. Guests are encouraged to discover a local educational resource during this event on Friday, August 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Explore the class-friendly museum, ecosystems, trails and grounds free of charge and learn more about academic, recreation, and service learning opportunities that can be adapted for all age groups.
     Author-artist-illustrator Doris Voss Dasenbrock will be a special feature of the event, sharing her children’s nature books from 10:30 to 11:30 that morning. Dasenbrock writes children’s books under the name of “Madam Zucchini” which is a name her young son gave her many years ago because she baked zucchini bread often. She grew up in Horicon, graduated from Horicon High School and has now been living in Bowie, MD for the past 46 years. Autographed books will be available for purchase.
      The staff at Marsh Haven Nature Center is looking forward to sharing the many educational opportunities and nature connections available and being a partner in the upcoming school year plans. All grade levels, public, private and homeschool educators are invited, along with scouting leaders, parents, grandparents and children. Refreshments, resources, ideas and door prizes will be provided. Marsh Haven Nature Center is located three miles east of Waupun at W10145 Highway 49.
