For us, 2024 has been a year of immense connection. Through new partnerships, programs, and a growing community focused on nature education, we all have deepened our connection with the natural world. This year, we’ve learned that nature isn’t just a backdrop for our lives; it’s where we gather, share stories and experiences, and create lasting memories.

Supporters like you have allowed us to grow a community focused on nature education. Whether it’s hearing the joy of a child on their first field trip, sharing an evening Full Moon hike with family or friends, or deepening our understanding of nature at Snackin’ on Science lectures, these memories strengthen the connection between people and the natural world and with each other. Your generous support has made Severson Dells Nature Center the epicenter for these experiences, all of which are Grounded in Nature & Connected to Community. 

Nature has a way of bringing us all together, and we hope you have experienced this first hand through experiences with Severson Dells. Whether attending a field trip, Science Saturdays, Popcorn & Persieds, Spook the Dells, Luminaria, or one of the many other programs designed to build community through nature education. As we look ahead to the coming year, we are excited about new opportunities for connection as we broaden program offerings. Your donation will help maintain and expand our reach, ensuring that everyone in our community has the opportunity to experience the wonder of the natural world. 

Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to Severson Dells today. Your generosity will make a lasting impact, helping us continue to stay Grounded in Nature, Connected to Community. 

We appreciate your generosity as we continue to work to inspire deeper connections to nature. 

Thank you for being a part of our community and for believing in the power of nature education to bring us all together.
