Navarino Nature Center (NNC), a private, non-profit organization, was established in April of 1986 by a group of residents concerned about ecology and environmental education. In January of 1987 in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) a site was selected on the 15,000-acre Navarino Wildlife Area. A parking lot, well, amphitheater and cabin were added in 1990.
In 1999, a 40 x 70 Educational facility was built allowing the nature center to have a all-weather facility for programs. Programming increased from 1999 to 2008 increasing the number of offerings beyond school and public programs to include: summer camps, group offerings (4-H, scouts, etc.), early childhood facilities and health care centers. During the fall of 2008 the nature center broke ground on a Green Building / Renewable Energy facility helping to increase the educational offerings to the surrounding communities.
