Wild Ones Institute for Learning and Development or WILD Center opened its doors to the public in July 2008. The 16-acre property is located in northeast Wisconsin’s Fox River Valley on the shores of Little Lake Butte des Morts in an area that is part of the larger Great Lakes watershed and an important conservation area. This area has been vital for human and wildlife activities for centuries, serving as a resource for Native Americans and later becoming an industrial hub. The WILD Center’s habitat diversity – marsh, forest, and savanna – offers many wildlife species a rare opportunity to thrive in an urbanized environment and helps to mitigate environmental concerns.
