Welcome!

Marsh Haven Nature Center is a non-profit nature center located on the north end of the Horicon Marsh, just east of Waupun on Highway 49. We are an independent nature center, separate from the federal and state land managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Marsh Haven is run by a volunteer director and a volunteer board, and supported by a strong and loyal membership. We are a dynamic and dedicated group of volunteers who are committed to this special place in nature – Marsh Haven Nature Center.

Your blogger to document this adventure in nature is Renee Wahlen, the volunteer director at Marsh Haven since October of 2011. The goal of this blog is to document the ordinary and extraordinary events that make up each day at a nature center. I never know what may happen on a day to day basis. Most of the days are filled with rich, rewarding experiences, but some days are a challenge. I hope to fill these pages with some of the stories that have shaped Marsh Haven into the very special place that it is - a place where the “best people on Earth meet.”
