Join us in September, October, and April at 6:30 p.m., prior to the program at Wehr Nature Center, to take a walk through the woods of the Center. Programs are held at Wehr Nature Center in Whitnall Park. They begin at 7:00 p.m. and are free and open to the public.

For Terry Golembiewski, UW Whitewater lab manager, carnivorous plants are a passion. She maintains a collection of the plants, teaches a class for children and has written numerous regionally published articles, and speaks to a wide variety of groups on the topic.

George Clokey, UW Whitewater, teaches field courses on wolves in Yellowstone National Park. He will share details of the wolves reintroduction, recovery and what sort of impact they are having on the park.

Craig Berg, Curator Reptile & Aquarium, Milwaukee County Zoo, will share with us the conservation projects at the zoo which have been devoted to Wisconsin’s wildlife. The zoo is more than displays of exotic animals.

Bird Fest will be returning to Wehr Nature Center just in time for the new leaves of spring and the arrival of birds from their winter feeding grounds.

The Wisconsin Metro Audubon Society also sponsors and participates in many events outside the regularly scheduled programs. We have such events as the annual Breakfast with the Birds, and field trips throughout the year, including the Sanctuary at Monastery Lake. We also take part in some events including Bird-a-thons, sponsored by the National Audubon Society. These special events are held more infrequently. Please feel free to email us to find out about future special sightings.
