“On Eagle Wings”
Hayley Parsons has been an Educator and Wildlife Technician at the MacKenzie Center for over five years, but is now moving on to be a high school science teacher. Her energy, creativity, hard work, and great personality and attitude have brought so much to the MacKenzie Center and really made a difference. We will miss her very much, but wish her the best and know she will be a great teacher.

Good luck in all your future endeavors, Hayley!
The MacKenzie Center is open Sunday-Saturday from dawn to dusk. THe Wildlife Exhibit, Museums, and Administration Building Restrooms are open from 10 am – 4 pm daily. Museum and indoor restrooms are now open! There are also four new kiosks around the property to aid visitors during their exploration of the MacKenzie Center.
As all of us are dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic, we must continue to support the things that are important to us. The Friends of MacKenzie has taken and is continuing to take a big hit with not finishing the Maple Program, no Maple Festival, no Fall Festival, and no fundraising banquet. Many of our members paid their dues early in 2020. However, there are a large number who did not pay them. First, we are asking for those of you who did not pay your dues to do so if possible. Secondly, we are suggesting that those who are paid up or are life members may want to send an additional donation to aid in continuing the operation of the Friends of MacKenzie. Your support is always greatly appreciated.
Membership dues are as follows:
Family – $40.00 Individual – $30.00 Life – $300.00
Dues and/or donations are to be sent to :
Don Jackson, W9301 Voss Road, Poynette, WI 53955
Check out our new project, “Where is Wolfie?” on facebook. Each week Wolfie finds a new place to hide on the MacKenzie property and the person who finds him wins a prize.
