The Schlitz Audubon Center

The Schlitz Audubon Center is on the shores of Lake Michigan, just north of Milwaukee. The Audubon Center was once a farm owned by the Schlitz Brewery, and was used as a place to rest it's busy draft horses. Today, the land is a 185 acre nature center. The center has woods, grassland, trails, a 60ft observation tower, bridges, ponds and beautiful beaches along lake Michigan.



The nature center's rustic building is a very environmentally friendly facility. The center uses natural light, solar power, a geothermal heating system, and low impact lighting and plumbing where possible.
