Since retiring we have become involved at the Wehr Nature Center.  We have taken our grandson to many of the programs offered for children and enjoyed several of the adult programs ourself.  With the pandemic the building has been closed most of the year and the major fundraising programs have been cancelled.  The revenue has fallen far short of what was budgeted.  Any money raised by the Friends of Wehr goes to support the environmental education programs or maintain the center.  I ask that you make a contribution and join us in the Wehr Adventure Challenge.

Wehr Nature Center (WNC) is an urban nature preserve offering natural history and community science/service programs to all ages throughout Milwaukee County. Staff and volunteers inspire people to explore and value the natural world. Wehr is open daily, year-round.  

Friends of Wehr Nature Center is a non-profit organization that supports and promotes Wehr Nature Center and its  programs. Friends of Wehr believe that every person deserves to have access to nature. Friends of Wehr Nature Center is committed to sustaining an accessible nature destination; a place for all seasons, a place for everyone.

During these challenging times our need for nature's physical and mental healing benefits has proven stronger than ever. And Wehr Nature Center needs your help! Wehr's fall calendar is usually full of events and fundraisers that help support the center financially. At a time when large gatherings are unsafe, was designed. During this three week fundraising challenge there will be something for everyone - a virtual walk, fun challenges, nature experiences and more!
