About Riveredge
As a visitor to Riveredge you will find a diverse and beautiful landscape to wander on foot, on skis or snowshoes. Our 370-acre sanctuary has ten miles of trails around ponds and fens, through woodlands and prairies, and along the Milwaukee River.
You will also discover one of the premier nature centers in the Great Lakes Region, widely recognized for providing innovative environmental education to learners of all ages for 40 years. Our goal is to build a self-discovered awareness that we are part of nature, and to empower people to act on that knowledge. We aim to help others to live well on this earth.
If science-based education, sustainability, and quality of life are high on your list of priorities, Riveredge is for you. Come visit Riveredge - see what it's all about. Then, join us - membership is inexpensive, the benefits are immeasurable.
Riveredge is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.
