About Me

Marge Loch-Wouters: I am a MN Master Naturalist volunteer and avid hiker and outdoorswoman living in La Crescent MN. I currently serve on the City of La Crescent’s Park and Rec Commission and Natural Resources Advisory Group and am a member of the Friends of the Blufflands, The Prairie Enthusiasts and the Mississippi Valley Conservancy.
