For me, the Wehr Nature Center is more than a workplace. As a kid, I spent lots of time in Whitnal Park with my parents and brother. In fact, Wehr was the first place I took a nature class. Now with 6 year old twin boys...I am able to make memories with them. It warms my heart to see how much they enjoy the trails and simply just being there. Wehr is a magical place, in every way. I have marveled at the changing seasons and the excitement of watching things change daily. I believe nature is the best teacher on a journey of lifelong learning. Nature gives me hope, even through tough times...it finds a way.

During these challenging times, the need for nature, resilience and community is crucial. Please join me in supporting the Wehr Nature Center: A place for all seasons, a place for everyone.

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!
