A Gateway to The Ridges

As Wisconsin’s oldest member-based nature preserve, The Ridges Sanctuary serves a unique niche in Door County. The Sanctuary not only protects one of the most biologically diverse areas in the state, but also stands as a stunning demonstration of how involved citizens can protect and conserve natural ecosystems.

Today, The Ridges is setting the stage for a meaningful public outreach effort that will expand its stewardship mission through the development of a new center for environmental stewardship.

An interpretive master plan is being developed by Schmeeckle Reserve Interpreters, a consulting team from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The plan will help guide the development of the facility, site, trail systems, and media associated with the interpretive center.

This website was created as a centralized resource to post information gathered during this planning process.
