This collection is comprised of records of the Hixon Forest Nature Center, which was operated by the Friends of Hixon Forest, Inc. and was located in Hixon Forest, a 790 acre city park in the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin, from 1983-2008. Most materials date from 1985-1997, and include four series: historical background, administrative files, financial materials, and related materials and organizations. The group dissolved and re-emerged as the Myrick Hixon Ecopark in 2008.
