A large collaboration of local entities, including the US EPA and WDNR, are working together to clean up Milwaukee’s waterways and restore some of the most unique and beloved natural areas in the county.
Led by US EPA, this project will address a legacy of pollution from our industrial past, and help improve the ways our communities, fish and wildlife, are able to use and enjoy this vital natural resource.
During the open house, there will be a 30-minute presentation at 6:00 pm, along with an array of educational posters and project partners to connect with. Find out why this work is important, what planning efforts are underway, and how you can help the efforts to restore our great rivers! For more information also check out an article by Wisconsin Public Radio that talks about this monumental effort that will begin next year.
This community meeting is part of a larger initiative to clean up the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern (AOC). Learn more about this initiative and register for the community meeting at the Water Restoration Partnership website www.mkewaterwaypartners.org.
