The forest is a beautiful place filled with all kinds of life. Here in Horicon Bank country, we are fortunate to have public and private forests to fill our landscapes.
Some notable forests in our area include the Kettle Moraine State Forest, Pike Lake State Park, Cedar Lake Land Conservancy near West Bend, South Woods Park by Ripon, High Cliff State Park by Appleton, Havenwoods State Park in Milwaukee as well as the many small woodlots and forests in backyards, parks, and back 40’s throughout Wisconsin.
While we can see the mighty oaks, maples, and other trees growing tall around us, it’s easy to miss the important work happening below the surface in the root system. Every plant relies on its roots to draw nutrients and water up to fuel its growth, but roots do much more.
In addition to fueling growth, forest roots braid, twist and even graft together to form one large, interconnected web to such a degree that is can be very difficult to tell where one tree ends and another begins. This web makes the whole of the forest stronger, protects against storms, and enables communication about pests, disease, and fire from one area to another. As a result, the whole becomes stronger than each part.
Like roots in a forest, Horicon Bankers help anchor and strengthen the communities we serve. In addition to providing financial services, Horicon Bankers help communicate opportunities and risks to our customers to help them make wise decisions. Furthermore, by tapping our wide network of personal and business connections, we help connect customers with others to assist with personal and business needs.
