Kletzsch Park Wildlife Enhancements

Kletzsch Park is a very popular recreational spot, whether it be enjoying the Oak Leaf Trail, watching the waterfall or having a picnic! However, the natural areas within the park have been in decline for many years, natural areas that contain priority plant and animal species like wetland bird species! Kletzsch Park is an important AOC project for multiple reasons, including its large size, location on the Milwaukee River, and known habitat for forest and wetland birds and mammals. Enhancements to these areas will not only help land critters and birds – but also a wide variety of fish and semi-aquatic species (like frogs and salamanders!). The Kletzsch Park project areas makes up roughly 112 acres and will only focus on the natural areas of the park. This includes the restoration and enhancements of  grassland, shrubland, forest and wetland habitats.
