Join Dr. Chuck Lee, Emeritus Professor of History at UWL, for a free and informative hike and discussion about the marsh and all of those who depend on it on April 26th at 11 a.m. at The Nature Place in La Crosse. This hike is part of Mississippi Valley Conservancy's Linked to the Land series of educational events which are hosted across the Coulee Region.
The La Crosse River Marsh, at the confluence of the La Crosse and Mississippi Rivers, is a thousand-acre wetland located in the middle of the City of La Crosse in western Wisconsin.
This marsh not only provides the city with critical flood protection, clean water, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities, but it also helps to create a sense of community and bolsters the local economy. Local organizations, community members, and city government are all working together to protect and care for this vital resource. Bring your binoculars and your questions to make your hike even better.

After the hike, stay for loads of Earth Fair fun for the whole family. There will be hands-on activities, guest speakers, information from many wonderful conservation-minded organizations, food vendors, and opportunities for outdoor play. Visit EarthFairLaCrosse.com to learn more!
