Walk on the Wild Side

About the Event

Travel through six ecosystems at Maywood on this 3-mile trail walk at Maywood and learn all about the birds that call Maywood home! Along the way you'll find information stations, activities, and more. Enjoy refreshments at the end. A shorter prairie loop will also be available for those wanting a flat route. Start your walk on Saturday, June 20 anytime between 9 am and 11:15 am. The course closes at 12:30pm. This walk is not timed and encourages you to enjoy nature along the way.

NEW FOR 2026: Open Door Bird Sanctuary will kick off our in-person walk with a presentation including live birds at 9am. From 10am-11am there will be time for a meet and greet with the birds.

About Sheboygan

Learn more about the host city, Sheboygan.

Sheboygan, the largest city in Sheboygan county at just over 50,000 residents, lies on the shores of Lake Michigan about 60 miles north of Milwaukee, in east-central Wisconsin. Formerly a busy trading and fishing port, Sheboygan grew through shipping and industry, and was a major center of German immigration to the area. While shipping on the Great Lakes has seen a major decline and the commercial fisheries has declined to 4 commercial fishing companies operating out of Sheboygan. Sheboygan remains a prospering industrial town, and continues its immigrant heritage to this day, with vibrant Hispanic and Hmong communities adding their influences to the cultural landscape. The "spirit on the lake" is the municipal jingle. The translation of the Native American name -she wa bo going means "water rushing underground" and is thought to refer to a rushing noise present at the North Point rock outcroppings. is also becoming a tourist destination thanks to several farsighted development initiatives, particularly along the scenic riverfront and lakefront.
