Friends of Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary
Meet the Board
President: William ‘Bill’ Stewart
Some folks just cannot get enough of Wisconsin’s north-woods. Then there are those who just don’t see the attraction. Hunt Hill has something to delight them both.
Vice President: Carolyn Cleveland
I especially enjoy the Trail of Myths event held in October each year. It is so wonderful to see the interaction of the animal characters with the families. Plus, spending the afternoon in the woods as a little red fox (like I did) was not only fun – it was educational!
Treasurer: Adam Liegl
The biggest thing that draws me to Hunt Hill is the peacefulness there. Walking the natural and peaceful trails is a great way to relax and release stress.
Sue Menzel
Sue Menzel started her involvement at Hunt Hill the spring of 1999. Since then has been involved in almost every aspect of operations and education at the center (except camp director of which she has never had aspirations). Today she continues to be an environmental educator and is vice president of the FOHHAS board. Interests range from photography to sustainability, politics to gardening (doesn’t mean she has a green thumb, but likes to think she has a green little finger)! Enjoys the outdoors & learning one new thing each day.

I enjoy the lovely drive to Hunt Hill through the woods, down the curving road into the peaceful and inviting Hunt Hill camp. A program in the barn loft, many years ago, gave me a feeling of community for the shared interests and respect for this piece of the natural world that continues every time I visit. Whether it is a barn dance, canoeing, hiking, dining or a campfire, Hunt Hill Sanctuary is just that for me, a sanctuary.
Program Committee Chair: Gary Davis
I became aware of Hunt Hill when we moved to the same lake chain in 2000. My wife and I have enjoyed participating as volunteer educators for the spring and fall school programs.
Membership Committee Chair – Carlotta Romsos
Our family was delighted to learn that Hunt Hill was adjacent to the property we were about to buy for our future home. We started attending programs on eagles, loons, beaver, mushrooms, etc. even before we lived here. Now our whole family has become involved in activities like the pancake breakfasts, nature programs, spring cleanup, barn dances and day camps (our grandchildren are excited about attending summer day camp at Hunt Hill every year). We have all met wonderful friends and staff members while learning about nature…..so, please visit us at Hunt Hill!

My relationship with Hunt Hill began in 1983 when my family moved to Rice Lake, and visited our family friends, the Dorsey’s, as they led their summer Audubon Camp programs. As I began working at Lac Courte Oreilles in 2005, I received an opportunity to develop precollege programming for middle school students. As this program expanded into a year-round program, we were able to incorporate more field trips, and eventually, overnight trips to Hunt Hill. My best times at Hunt Hill have included our church youth group’s overnight service trips to Hunt Hill for the Spring Helping Hands weekend.

My favorite memories at Hunt Hill were the structured and sometimes chaotic, activities implemented while teaching young students about the ways in which animals survive in nature. Playing games and supervising outdoor adventures was exciting as well as fun.

I first became aware of Hunt Hill upon moving to Rice Lake in 2006. After attending the first two Soupstock events and upon reading Last Child in the Woods, it became evident to me that Hunt Hill is an absolutely VITAL part of our community!
Gus Stelzer
My most pleasant remembrances about Hunt Hill involve our children there in the summers. Including our youngest named Chloe. We have a photo of her at our summer home, plopping along on the Hunt Hill dock with swim fins on her feet, about seven years old, with another little girl. We’d been cooling off in the lake and canoeing that day.
Owl Pellet Aficionado- William “Chip” Wood
William Wood, better known as Chip, has enjoyed a long association with Hunt Hill and has never lost an inch of his enthusiasm for the land and purposes of the Sanctuary. His recent return to service on the Board will only increase his admiration for all that Hunt Hill represents.

My introduction to Hunt Hill ws in 1985 when I became a teacher for the summer camp sessions. My first assignments were weatherman of the camp and giving tours of the meadow and forest to the campers. It was while giving these walks that I began to enjoy the various plant species with their color, diversity and uniqueness. Along with the many species of plants found at Hunt Hill, I love the colorful history which led to Hunt Hill becoming an environmental camp.
