Shalom Wildlife Zoo - West Bend, Wisconsin
Beginning in 1979, thirty acres of land was purchased with the intent to preserve it from development. Over the years additional adjacent parcels were acquired. Today the Zoo encompasses 100 acres. Shalom's wildlife began as a deer farm with native whitetail deer that were purchased from the State of Wisconsin. People would come to see those Big Bucks on guided wagon ride tours through the property. The tours provided a great opportunity to educate visitors on animals, plants, habitat and Native American culture. In 1990 Bison and Elk were added for additional wildlife viewing enjoyment. Soon red fox, raccoon, skunk and mink were purchased and put on exhibit. Every year more species are added. In 2002 self guided tours were made available for those that wanted to walk, and in 2006 golf carts were added for those who were unable to walk.
Although still a working farm, in 2010 Shalom was licensed as a Zoo and is home to over four-hundred animals that are cared for daily. Some of the animals are here for permanent placement, some have been donated and some have been purchased.
Our Mission Statement: To preserve the wilderness, while providing education, enjoyment and wildlife encounters in a natural ecosystem.
Shalom is a privately owned federally licensed zoo and receives no government assistance. We are solely funded by the admission fee to the zoo. Your visits are important to the future of Shalom. With your support we strive to improve Shalom Wildlife Zoo.
Shalom is a Hebrew word that means Peace.

Forest Beach Migratory Preserve, Belgium Wisconsin
Located along Lake Michigan in the town of Belgium, Forest Beach Migratory Preserve is 116 acres. This preserve contains a 5-acre hardwood forest with ephemeral (seasonal) ponds, open grassland and prairie, a partially wooded ravine and 5 constructed wetland ponds. The site was previously a golf course but OWLT purchased the land because the property’s location and attributes lend itself to supporting migratory birds along the Lake Michigan Flyway. Immediately upon acquisition, OWLT began stewardship activities including invasive and exotic plant control.
Today the preserve hosts a patchwork quilt of habitats that support all kinds of migratory birds, reptiles and mammals. An interpretive trail system invites visitors to meander through the preserve learning about the restoration efforts and the unique restored habitats. Visit this preserve to hike, bird watch, fish, hunt or cross country ski.

And of course the Musical Frogs. I think it's funny that somebody puts hats, scarves, and mittens on the frogs when the weather gets cold.

Riverside Park, West Bend, WI 2009
This is Riverside park, West Bend, WI. September 2009.
The park boasts a sculpture walk with art from nationally known artists and home of the Kettle Moraine Jazz in the Park, but I like the quiet and all the wildlife there is in the park. West Bend launches it's fireworks off from this park, but that is a different type of wild life.
