What is NEST? What does Cradle-to-Career mean?

The Audubon Center at Riverlands offers year-round programming and community events for kids, families, and learners of all ages.  Our Education team strives to provide experiential learning opportunities supplemented by the gorgeous backdrop of the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary.  At each stage of development and life, we have created engaging content and offerings to bring out the naturalist in all of us and to inspire generational appreciation for birds and the ecosystems of the greater St. Louis region.  Together with community events, in-school programs, and a focus on EDIB (Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity, and Belonging) initiatives for all, the Audubon Center at Riverlands hopes to nurture a natural Cradle-to-Career series of educational opportunities.

Be sure to check out our "Getting to Know NEST" guide in the pdf below.

Learn more about our Center's innovative, hands-on education initiatives through our Reaching More, Teaching More video. Through our NEST (Nature Education for Stewards of Tomorrow) initiative, we are tackling the important work of building new generations of conservationists and leaders. We are incredibly grateful for our collaboration with Sarah Trulaske and the Robert J. Trulaske Jr. Family Foundation, which made this video possible!
