Augie is a Milwaukee transplant from Rockford, Illinois (love you, 815!), where their love of ecology blossomed from spending time gardening with their Grams, enjoying time their sister in Rock Cut State Park, finding and identifying birds with their Pop, and visiting Severson Dells Nature Center. Severson sparked a delightful connection to nature that extended through their move to Milwaukee. They will never forget their first visit to the Urban Ecology Center upon moving to the city. Their sweet pal, Katie, showed them around the neighborhood and they ended their exploration at the Riverside Park Center. The beautiful reminder of home, connection to the community, and inviting staff stuck with them until they were fortunate enough to join this talented, passionate, and wild team! What a wonderful journey it has been and continues to be.

Inexperience is not a barrier to programming: we welcome newcomers to urban adventuring. Come with your interest, curiosities, and passions. We want to hear about what led you here, what you are hesitant about, and how we can work together to broaden your experiences and have fun doing it!
