More than a nature center
We’ve build our legacy since 1968 as a pioneer in the areas of land restoration, research, and inquiry-based education throughout Wisconsin.
Supporting community

Everyone is invited to bring their authentic self to their work: their passions, their interest, their skills and talents. We strive to build and demonstrate a growth mindset; we learn from each other and continually seek to get better in our positions, and as people, every day. We promote equity, support one other, and build diverse teams where each member can bring their unique strengths with them to the table.
Make a difference: Join our Board!
Becoming a member of our Board of Directors empowers you to make a positive difference for people and places in Southeastern Wisconsin.
