On April 24, 2008, Pati and I took a plane ride over the Hartland Marsh.  It was a birthday present from Pati and our objective was to get some cool pictures to use in our presentation to The Village of Hartland Board to ask permission to cut the buckthorn and honeysuckle on the village property around the Cottonwood Wayside/Gazebo.

We followed the Bark River Northeast from where it spills into the Upper Nemahbin Lake and upstream through Lake Nagawicka finally arriving at the Hartland Marsh.
