Silent Auction:
Proceeds will go toward programs and operations for the North Lakeland Discovery Center which is recognized as a leading resource for lifelong environmental learning and outdoor recreation.
We are notable for our creative and cutting-edge year-round programming providing people with opportunities to experience the power of nature, for our outreach efforts to nurture and protect nature’s ecosystems, and for our ability to connect an increasing number of people to the natural world.
In case you haven't heard, the Discovery Center has embarked upon a $3.9 million capital campaign to winterize our historic YCC Lodge, build residential capacity, and construct a new year-round Discovery Hall.

About North Lakeland Discovery Center
Our mission:
Enriching lives and inspiring an ethic of care for Wisconsin's Northwoods through the facilitation of connections among people, nature, and community.
NLDC is a nature-based education and community center. Our market is regional, appealing to people who live, own second homes, and vacation in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. An expanding market is organized groups interested in nature-recreation opportunities and programs.
These include groups such as the Center for Conservation Leadership and WI Land+Water Youth Conservation Camp.
The Center differentiates itself by:
- The diverse, undeveloped land surrounding us, providing an unparalleled teaching environment including lake, river, mixed forest and bog.
- Broad audiences not limited to specific interests, but that share commonality in their care and connection to our Northwoods environment.
- A strong, loyal membership base; and positive relationships with community businesses, schools and Towns.
