Martin "Marty" Baker
1963-2021

"Working to keep this planet healthy"

This area is named in honor of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff member, Marty Baker, who served with passion for 30 years at Windom Wetland Management District.

Thousands of acres of native grasses and wildflowers were sown across southern Minnesota by the working hands of Marty.

He was a tireless advocate, introducing youth to the outdoors through wildlife programs, hunter education, job mentoring, 4-H, FFA, and prairie restoration.

Marty's love of the outdoors, including camping, fishing, and hunting, were shared with family and friends. His passion and dedication to restoring and protecting natural resources for future generations lives on.
