Riveredge Nature Center is an environmental services organization based in Saukville, Wisconsin. It stewards a 485-acre sanctuary with about ten miles of trails, including prairies, woods, ponds, and more than a mile of Milwaukee River shoreline. The center’s work goes beyond public-facing programming, drawing on a legacy in land restoration, research, and inquiry-based education across Wisconsin. Its mission is to inspire, inform, and enable responsible environmental decision-making and sustainable practices by providing leadership in education, preserving and restoring natural sanctuaries, and serving as a resource for scientific research. The center has historically partnered with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to reintroduce sturgeon by raising fingerlings in a streamside rearing facility located on the Riveredge property, a program active since 2006. In 2024, it announced a collaboration with the American Cancer Society to offer free healthy cooking classes, in partnership with Kohl's Healthy Families.
