Riveredge Nature Center, Inc. is a non-profit, environmental education
facility and nature center located in southeastern Wisconsin. Comprised of
a staff of 24 (11 full-time), it was established in 1968. The Center's
mission is to provide leadership in environmental education, to preserve its
natural sanctuary and to serve as a regional resource for scientific
research. At its core, Riveredge offers science-based environmental
educational programs for school children, youth, and adults utilizing its
350-acre sanctuary. Programs provide hands-on science learning, utilizing
an inquiry approach. Much more than a "learning center," Riveredge is a
wildlife preserve of exceptional diversity, prized by educators, naturalists
and biologists. Deeply concerned about the 21st Century's ecological
challenges (e.g., the loss of biodiversity, climate change), the Center is
exploring how it might expand into teaching and demonstrating practical,
realistic, and appealing solutions that inspire people from all walks of
life to explore ways of living that sustain--rather than harm--natural
environmental systems.
