This Giving Season, Friends of Wehr is joining over 100 area nonprofits

in asking our community to give first before rushing into

Black Friday and Cyber Monday spending.




Our goal this year: Raise $15,000 to support two initiatives at the heart of Wehr's mission

Contribute to our Goal

Education Access for All


Bringing nature-based learning to every child, regardless of background. These funds support the Kids in the Park scholarship program which last year supported more than 975 students and young adults with disabilities to experience a hands-on nature-based program at either Wehr Nature Center or a neighboring Milwaukee County Park.

Trail Access for all


Keeping our trails welcoming and open to every visitor regardless of abilities. These funds specifically support maintenance of our all-terrain wheelchair program in partnership with Access Ability Wisconsin as well as updated wayfinding signage anticipated to be installed in 2027.

Choose the initiative that speaks to you, or make a general gift to support both. However you give, you're giving back to the place that's already given you the gift of nature. Watch for communication coming out in mid-November.

“Our outdoor walk connected my students with real plants, animals and new knowledge for our animal and plant unit.”

“It made all of us so happy to fully include her in the entire outing!  To see the big smile on her face as she navigated up that snowy hill was incredible! She never would have seen the sugar bush or the gigantic turkey tracks without that assist!”
