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 the Sustainability and Natural Resources Committee and am a member of the Friends of the Blufflands, The Prairie Enthusiasts and the Mississippi Valley Conservancy.

Oh and connecting people to the outdoors through guided hikes and doing presentations on satisfying your curiosity about the natural world.
