Wings of Wonder at Walk on the Wild Side Event

Spend a spring morning in the park and learn about the natural world that makes West Virginia wild and wonderful. The St. Albans Parks and Recreation Department presents the 12th Annual Walk on the Wild Side Nature Hikes on Saturday, April 11, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the St. Albans City Park Nature Trail, lower park area, and pool parking. This is a free community event, and all ages are welcome. Participants must register to win door prizes. This year’s theme is Nature’s Wonders. The event focuses on West Virginia flora, fauna, environment, weather, and Appalachian culture. The goal is simple: bring together the best parts of the past eleven years and give families a fun way to learn outdoors.
Our “Wings of Wonder: WV Birds of Prey” program will begin at noon! Meet 6 native WV Raptor Ambassadors close up, including live owls, falcons, hawks, and our bald eagle Regis. Learn about the habitats they live in, the foods they eat, their unique abilities, and the dangers they face. Pick up proactive tips for helping WV’s wild birds and get a chance to ask questions during this award-winning interactive program. Meet at the main shelter near the ball fields.
