Living with the Land: Lessons in Natural Landscaping - Lecture Series

Horicon Marsh International Education Center
N7725 Highway 28
 WI, 53032

Speakers: Bill Volkert and Connie Ramthun. Bill and Connie share personal experiences of their years of natural landscaping around their home. Bill and his wife Connie have lived on about 7 acres of land for the past 24 years. Over that time they have turned a former cornfield into a native prairie and prairie nursery, restored an oak-hickory forest and managed a wetland in an effort to return the native plants and plant communities to their land. They have recorded 589 species of plants and animals on their land and the lessons they have learned will serve as examples of how you can landscape and manage your land using native shrubs, trees and wildflowers.
