This exciting open house will have something for everyone!  We'll explore the history of the marsh, dive into the wildlife that makes it special and have all sorts of interactive activities for kids and kids at heart!  Get up close to some of the DNR's management equipment like an airboat.  Practice tossing a line with our fisheries biologist.
