Review for Nature's Edge Therapy Center, Inc., Rice Lake, WI, USA
I started volunteering at Nature's Edge in the summer of 2009 and it's been an absolutely wonderful experience for me. Recently retired, I was looking for a way to fill some of my free time. Not a problem at Nature's Edge! There's always something to do...helping out with the animals, side walking in a hippotherapy session, lending a hand in the office or with fundraisers, writing grants, etc. Before I knew it, Becky had recruited me to serve on the board!
The therapists at Nature's Edge, Becky and Heidi Jo, are inspired and dedicated. I love watching the patients respond to them and to the animals and to being out in nature. Therapy is still hard work, but it's also fun at Nature's Edge. The entire staff is very supportive of the patients and their families. And of course the animals are the best. It's such a positive environment to help patients progress toward their therapeutic goals.
Nature's Edge is a great alternative to traditional, clinical therapy!

I wish I could do more, but it takes all kinds of people and resources to make an organization like this work. Nature's Edge is always looking for talented personnel, volunteers, and donations (cash and in-kind). Please check out our website to see how you can help!
