Suburban Soles program 2026

Suburban Soles returns for its 9th season, to explore and discover the secrets of our natural world. Join us for this free event, every other Sunday, from May through August as we walk trails, hone photography skills or discuss various topics such as both migrating and urban birds, moths large and small, or our efforts to reforest the park. We will hear the history of the Fowle family, find and observe the spread of ornamental landscape plants in the park, obtain skills to identify tree species and how we can integrate them successfully into our home landscapes.

We wish to thank the Green Bay Packers Foundation for support this year. These events are presented and supported by the Friends of Grant Park, and are completely free to attend, with a suggested donation to keep the programs alive. 

Each week, we will focus on a new area of study that will be led by professional field guides associated with various green organizations from around Milwaukee county.
