MILWAUKEE — This hidden gem has been available to us for 53 years. The Schlitz Audubon Nature Center is a definite must-do if you haven't been and a re-do if you have.
“We welcome over 170,000 visitors here every year. With a variety of educational programs for people of all ages”, said executive director, Helen Boomsma. She went on to say, “Part of our mission is to help cultivate and sustain a relationship with nature. Nature brings joy and solace throughout a person's lifespan, and as we cultivate and introduce nature to our youngest learners, that tends to stay with them.”
The Schlitz Audubon Nature Center has 185 acres. There are 6 miles of hiking trails, 2 miles of which are fully accessible, enabling people of all ages and physical abilities to enjoy and learn about nature. Year
