Heckrodt Wetland Reserve includes 76
acres of forested wetland, wetland
meadow, open water, and upland field
communities. The wheelchair & stroller-friendly 3+ mile trail
system includes 2 miles of boardwalk that allows access to the wetland without getting
wet feet! The Reserve is home to a variety of mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, and
amphibians. Facilities include a nature center with indoor living wetland and live
reptiles, amphibians, and fish, as well as mounted specimens of Wisconsin mammals
and bird species. Educational programs are provided for schools, daycares, special focus
groups (pre-school, grade school, scouts, and senior citizens), and the general public. Our
goal is to provide visitor education while fostering an ethic of environmental
stewardship in a fun, hands-on atmosphere.
