Peninsula State Park Mid-May Programming

Peninsula Park will host a variety of programs in mid-May.

A Warblers 101 program will be offered on May 12 from 9 – 9:45 am to learn about warblers, small songbirds that migrate through and nest at Peninsula State Park. There will be photos, songs and a short walk to see birds in the field. If interested, meet at Weborg Shelter and park at the adjacent day-use lot. Also, bring binoculars.

Also on May 12, from 1 – 1:45 pm families are invited to the Nature Center to listen to an Ojibwa legend that tells how the lady’s-slipper came to be. During this program, visitors will check to see if they are blooming and craft a lady’s-slipper to keep.

On May 13 from 9 – 10 am, birders are invited to join the naturalist for Point-to-Point Birding, a program that highlights basic bird identification skills. This program includes easy walking (less than a mile) to watch for warblers, pelicans, killdeer and indigo buntings. If interested, meet at Nelson’s picnic area on Shore Road and bring binoculars.

These programs are free and open to the public, but a state park vehicle sticker is required. For more information call 920.854.5976.
