General Info

The Wenatchee River Institute (WRI) believes the greatest hope for the future is through connecting people, communities and the natural world. We engage thousands of learners annually through transformative environmental education on our campus in Leavenworth and across North Central Washington. Each experience is created to help participants understand their environment and discover the impact they can have in the world and their community. Our 9-acre grounds and trails are open for the public to explore 24/7. Pick up a trail map, nature tour, or garden brochure at our kiosk to embark on a self-guided tour! Or visit our website for upcoming events, activities, and community programs for locals and visitors alike.The Wenatchee River Institute (WRI) believes the greatest hope for the future is through connecting people, communities and the natural world.
