Nature & Wildlife in Milwaukee

The office, the car, home. Repeat. If this sounds like too many of your days recently it's time to skip Groundhog's Day and take off on a nature and wildlife adventure. Get outdoors and reconnect. Take a glimpse at Milwaukee's original inhabitants: the flora, fauna, and critters big and small.

Don't forget your camera and plan a full day of walking, hiking, peeking, and listening to all that surrounds you in nature. Check out these activities and get in touch with your "wild" side!
