Education Partnerships Schlitz Audubon has an established urban outreach footprint with Malaika Early Learning Center and Next Door Milwaukee and has launched programs like the morning K4 program and the Birding Academy. This creates a springboard to expand school district partnerships, after school and summer programs, and paid nature education offerings to local families and educators.

Birding Tourism Growth As an Important Bird Area and a birding hotspot along a migratory flyway, the center can monetize premium birding experiences, guided tours, and certification courses through partnerships with birding clubs and travel operators, supplemented by the new Birding Academy.

Corporate Engagement Existing collaborations and the center's community focus present an opportunity to build corporate sponsorships, employee volunteering programs, and CSR partnerships around nature-based team building, sustainability education, and brand alignment with conservation initiatives.

Program Expansion Diverse programming and a substantial revenue base position Schlitz Audubon well to expand events, camps, memberships, and digital education offerings, while pursuing grants and sponsorships that support conservation and education goals.

Seasonal & Location Advantage Situated near Milwaukee with extensive trails across forests, wetlands, prairies and shoreline, the nature center can offer year-round experiences, habitat restoration tours, and seasonal programming to drive visitation, loyalty, and cross selling to schools and families.
