Visiting Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center

The beautiful and peaceful Osprey Wild property is unique and encompasses a variety of habitats and ecosystems. Through preservation and dedicated, responsible land management efforts over decades, our 780-acres property contains old-growth white and red pine groves, old-growth northern hardwood forests, multi-aged conifer stands, birch and aspen stands, tall-grass prairie, oak savanna, shrub carr, wetlands, and lake and stream habitats. 

Our unique location puts us in a transition zone where several habitats are present, creating outstanding birding and wildlife spotting opportunities. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded on our property.

As our guest, you can hike, ski or snowshoe on over 7 miles of trails through our diverse lakeside sanctuary. Most of the trails are groomed for cross country skiing in the winter (conditions permitting) and no trail permits are necessary. No ATVs or motorized vehicles are allowed on our trails.
