For 38 years, MIWP has preserved Island lands, helped manage invasive plants and explored environmental issues important to Island residents. Our 2025 education series invites you to experience and learn the wonders of our natural world. Please join us this summer to hear about our storied wilderness and immerse yourself on this special place that is Madeline Island. All programs are free and open to the public, except the Annual Meeting & Evening Reception. Classes and hikes will be held rain or shine. Programs at the museum theater have a 70-person capacity.

Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve

The Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve is a non-profit land trust dedicated to the protection and preservation of natural areas on Madeline Island. The nature preserve lands are open to the public for hiking, skiing, berry-picking and hunting. MIWP is committed to education and advocacy — each summer we sponsor field trips and evening programs. Madeline Island is adjacent to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on the South Shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
