📢 Soft Release Announcement - Hey friends! I am excited to share that I’ve officially entered the soft release phase for FollowtheFireflies.com.
This means you can poke around, explore, and get an early look at what I’ve been building. A quick heads-up: not every section is fully complete, and purchasing isn’t live just yet—but it’s coming very soon. Thanks for being here from the very beginning — it means the world to me! — Barb C.

Whispers of the Marsh

Nature's Wonder and Beauty Begin with a Single Step

Step Into Wonder

Gather, Connect, Discover, Reflect

with Barb Casper and Cindy Zollner

Join us for Whispers of the Marsh, a guided walk through the breathtaking landscapes of Tobico Marsh— where toweering forests meet tranquil marshlands. This unique experience is designed for individuals and families, seeking a deeper connection with nature, themselves, and each other.

Step into wonder, embrace the beauty, and be part of something truly special.

Let’s take a walk—but not just any walk. This one is different. It’s not about steps, distance, or speed. It’s about connection. With yourself. With the world around you.

We’ll use the letters of W-A-L-K as a guide:

✨ Witness the world around you.

❤️ Accept the moment as it is.

🌿 Let go, focus, and love the experience.

🧠 Know yourself and the natural world around you better with every step.

About Tobico Marsh

Tobico Marsh is a natural landmark in Bay County, Michigan, just north of Bay City. It was designated as a registered National Natural Landmark in 1976 due to its large size, relatively undisturbed condition, and variety of aquatic plant life.

The marsh covers an area of 1,652 acres and is one of the largest remaining freshwater coastal wetlands on the Great Lakes.

Tobico Marsh is particularly significant for supporting migratory birds, with hundreds of thousands passing through and stopping over each spring and fall.
