Join us for a family friendly birding/nature walk focused on connecting with the wild world around us in ways that stimulate, strengthen, and soothe our brain. This walk will feature activities geared specifically for younger minds, that connect nature to mindfulness practices, executive functioning skills, and mental well being. Carmen Meuret, a licensed mental health therapist and Winnebago Audubon board member, will lead this program. All are welcome and we request that children are accompanied by an adult.

Directions: From I-41 in Oshkosh take Hwy 21 west to the second stop light (Oakwood Road). Turn right (north) on Oakwood Road and continue to the stop sign at Omro Road. Turn left (west) on Omro Road. Continue past the school and after the fourth house on the right, turn right (north) onto the drive to Sheldon Nature Area. We will meet in the parking area.

Accessibility: The main trail loop is approximately 0.75 miles long with a few benches at various points. The trail surface is flat throughout and primarily consists of well-packed crushed stone or gravel (95%) and hard-packed soil (5%).
