America's Wildest Places - Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, Wisconsin
Horicon National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1941 to provide an undisturbed sanctuary for a number of migratory birds and waterfowl including the redhead duck as well as to provide opportunities for people to connect with nature through many wildlife dependent recreational activities such as wildlife observation, photography, environmental education and interpretation, fishing and hunting.
Horicon Marsh is a shallow, peat-filled lake bed scoured out of limestone by the Green Bay lobe of the massive Wisconsin glacier. The glacier entered this area about 70,000 years ago and receded about 12,000 years ago. The same layer of rock that forms the gentle hills to the east of the marsh extends 500 miles to the east and is the same rock layer over which the Niagara River plunges at Niagara Falls. This Niagara Escarpment bordering the marsh, commonly referred to as The Ledge extends for 230 miles in the state of Wisconsin alone. The marsh itself is approximately 14 miles long and ranges from 3-5 miles in width.
The northern two-thirds of Horicon Marsh is managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as the 22,000 acre Horicon National Wildlife Refuge. The southern third of the marsh, 11,000 acres, is managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as Horicon Marsh State Wildlife Area. At more than 33,000 acres, Horicon Marsh is one of the largest freshwater marshes in the United States and is a critical rest stop for thousands of migrating ducks, sandhill cranes and Canada geese. It is recognized as a Wetland of International Importance, as both Globally and State Important Bird Areas, and is also a unit of the Ice Age Scientific Reserve. The marsh provides critical habitat for over 300 species of birds as well as muskrats, red foxes, turtles, frogs, bats, dragonflies, fish and much more.
Located in Dodge and Fond du Lac counties, Horicon Marsh is fed by the Rock River which flows through the refuge, following a course through southern Wisconsin and eventually ending in the Mississippi River at Rock Island, Illinois.
Native people built effigy mounds between 700 A.D. and 1200 A.D. These earthen burial mounds, ranging in size from 25 feet to over 300 feet long, were built to represent animal and geometric shapes including panther, bear, bison, deer, birds and others. These mounds contained many artifacts. The oldest known human artifact in the state of Wisconsin - an 11,200 year-old projectile point - was found near the Ledge in Oakfield, just north of Horicon Marsh.
Horicon National Wildlife Refuge is managed as part of a complex that also includes the Fox River National Wildlife Refuge, 1,054 acres in Montello, WI; the Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge, 330 acres, and Gravel Island National Wildlife Refuge, 27 acres, located in Lake Michigan near Washington Island, WI; and the Leopold Wetland Management District, 57 waterfowl production areas, totaling 13,000 acres, located in 17 counties throughout Wisconsin.
TRAVEL & TOURISM
Wildlife observation; photography; hiking; fishing; educational programs; guided tours; bicycling; snowshoeing; cross country skiing; and deer and upland game hunting, are the recreational opportunities offered at Horicon.
The office/visitor center is located on the east side of Horicon Marsh, 3.5 miles south of State Highway 49 on County Road Z.

In this video we go joking and exploring a location that was a CCC camp back in the 1930's and is now a public park in Massachusetts. There are some remains of the old barracks but the largest mark left upon the land is the changes made to the land. The CCC cut and replanted many trees and made beautiful dirt roads through all of these pars for people to use for recreation. On top of the history form the great depression era we must keep in mind that all of this land around here is very old. A good portion of it was colonial farm land dating back to the 1700s as well as into the 1800s. So lets go for a hike through the woods and explore the layers of time looking for signs of colonial life right up to present day.
CCC in New England
The Civilian Conservation Corps CCC was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed & unmarried men. The CCC was a huge part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal that provided manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments. The CCC was designed to provide jobs for young men to help relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States. In its nine years in operation, 3 million men participated in the CCC, which provided them with $30 a month salary.
CCC workers constructed new roads bridges, planted trees and helped rebuild America
