Abstract:

Records of the Alliance, a group of organizations concerned with conservation and wildlife management; including minutes and materials on goose hunting at Horicon Marsh, water pollution, a tour by Stewart Udall and a banquet for Owen Gromme, and the Sixth District Advisory Committee to the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, chaired by John L. Franson, a leader of the Alliance. Photographs are of the Supple Marsh wildlife preserve, ca. 1963, originally a refuse dump on Lake Winnebago and the Fond du Lac River. Included are images of the dump, the surrounding shoreline, migratory ducks and geese, observation buildings, and an on-site inspection by Senator Gaylord Nelson. Also included is a photographic reproduction of the Supple Marsh proposal.
