The North Lakeland Discovery Center is a community-based environmental learning center that promotes stewardship of the region’s natural and cultural resources. The Center is located on a 63-acre site in the heart of northern Wisconsin's tranquil Lakeland destination region.

Core values include a belief that the acquisition of knowledge and skills is a life-long undertaking. Through various means including recreation, discussion, display, and field study, The Discovery Center offers a diversity of experiential learning opportunities. Programs are based on the premise that the better we understand our natural environment, the more likely we are to accept our shared responsibility to look after it.

The Discovery Center Bird Club (DCBC) Bird Club was officially established on June 04, 2005.The Club welcomes all birdwatchers, whatever one’s specific interest or skill level – be it the beginner, expert, or casual observer.  The Club has set out with the goals to meet, share, have fun, and improve our birding skills; to draw attention to the richness of bird life in the Northwoods; and to participate in projects aimed at bird conservation and habitat improvement efforts. Guests and prospective members are welcome to attend monthly meetings, held the first Monday of the month at the Discovery Center.
