Severson Dells Nature Center to Rebrand as Wild Roots Nature Center by July 2026
Severson Dells Nature Center, located at the Severson Dells Forest Preserve, is set to change its name to Wild Roots Nature Center. This rebranding, effective July 1, 2026, aims to better reflect the organization's growth and its mission to inspire conservation through education and stewardship. The current nature center will be known as Wild Roots Nature Center at Severson Dells, while a new site at the former Elliot Golf Course will be called Wild Roots Nature Center at Prairie’s Edge. The name 'Wild Roots' was chosen to symbolize the active, hands-on learning opportunities in nature and the organization's commitment to stability and community engagement. Despite the name change, the center will continue its science-based activities for children, adults, and families.
