Join the Nelson Institute for a career exploration field trip to Dodge County’s Horicon Marsh — the largest freshwater marsh in the United States. We will tour the wildlife refuge and learn about its conservation work, followed by a tour and lecture at Piece of Mined Acres. If you’re interested in conservation, restoration, and wildlife, you won’t want to miss this opportunity!
