About OpenCoast

OpenCoast is a nonprofit based in southeastern Wisconsin, working to expand access to outdoor spaces through inclusive programming, environmental stewardship, and community-driven events.

We believe nature should be welcoming, healing, and available to all—regardless of income, background, or experience. Our programs include nature-based wellness floats, river cleanups, youth partnerships, and outreach events designed to connect people to place and purpose.

As a Coalition for Outdoor Access, Stewardship, and Trust (COAST), we’re rooted in three values:

Access. Stewardship. Trust.

We work in collaboration with local businesses, parks, and community groups to make sure everyone has a chance to be part of the wild beauty around us—safely, meaningfully, and together.
