Palabras de Wehr
Bluebirds are furnishing nest boxes, pussy willows are blooming, and wood and chorus frogs are singing at the ephemeral pond.
In this issue of the Spring Wehr Words Newsletter, we hope you’ll enjoy learning about wild turkeys, Wehr’s new focus on native bees, and updates on projects at Wehr.
Conoce a los pavos
¡El excremento de un pájaro es la comida de otro! Los pavos salvajes de Wehr estarán encantados de recoger las semillas perdidas que los pájaros ocupados arrojan al suelo en los comederos. Es todo un espectáculo encontrar cardenales, palomas y gorriones comiendo junto a estos pavos gigantes.
About Wehr
See why Wehr Nature Center is “a place for all seasons, a place for everyone.” Explore more than five miles of nature trails through woodland, wetland, prairie and oak savanna on 220-acres of protected land in Whitnall Park at Wehr Nature Center.
This is without a doubt, the best place to birdwatch and see wildlife in the Milwaukee metro area. The nature center is fantastic. The staff is welcoming and the trails are extremely well-maintained. Always something exciting to see!
Friends of Wehr Nature Center could not support Wehr Nature Center as well as it does without the hard work, consistency, and community of our collective volunteers. Over 16,000 hours were donated in 2025 which is equivalent to 8 full time employees! A special shoutout to these three whose work is irreplaceable, generous, and deeply appreciated. From treasury work with our Friends of Wehr Board, caring for Wehr’s animal ambassadors, or managing the Nature Store – our volunteers are the lifeblood of the center.
