About Us

Schlitz Audubon Nature Center connects people with nature and inspires them to become responsible stewards of the natural world.

Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Center’s six miles of trails [PDF] take visitors through 185 acres of unspoiled natural beauty -- just 15 minutes from downtown Milwaukee.

The Center is a great place to hike, learn something new or find a quiet haven to commune with nature.

We’re building a sustainable future with our Dorothy K. Vallier Environmental Learning Center, which opened in May 2003. This award-winning “green” building features recycled materials and systems that support energy efficiency, water conservation and sustainability.

Become one of the thousands of members and visitors who participate in our nature education programs. We have something for everyone:

• Hands-on nature education classes
• Bird watching hikes
• Land stewardship classes and activities
• Live raptor, reptile and amphibian education programs
• Interpretive hikes
• Scout programs
• Summer camps
• Sustainability workshops
• Day trips to explore Wisconsin
• Evening programs

And much more…

Each year over 35,000 children experience the magic of nature through our nature education programs. More than 145,000 visitors enjoy our unspoiled land for learning, hiking and outdoor recreation.
