Birds of the Germantown Greenway Mural

The Germantown Greenway and the nearby Riverwoods State Nature Area protect a small but vital patch of forest along the Wolf River. This ecosystem serves as a crucial sanctuary for avian life, supporting more than 150 species that rely on this land as a year-round home, a summer nesting ground, or an essential resting stop during their long migrations. Jennalyn Speer’s mural pays homage to the extraordinary abundance of life passing through our community.
