Learn about improvements along the Little Menomonee River!

Saturday, May 17th | 12:00 – 2:00 PM 
Dretzka Park Chalet (12020 W Bradley Rd, Milwaukee, WI 53224)

Join us on Saturday May 17th from 12:00 – 2:00 PM at Dretzka Park Chalet (12020 W Bradley Rd, Milwaukee, WI 53224) to learn about the wild and wonderful changes coming to the Little Menomonee River Parkway! You may have seen some big changes along the Little Menomonee River Parkway (or LMRP) in the past two years. Dense stands of invasive species have started to come down and for many, the river can be viewed for the first time in 30 years. This is one of the largest Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern restoration efforts – seeking to improve habitat and make enhancements for fish and wildlife on hundreds of acres of parkland and 6 miles of river! More work is coming soon in new sections of the parkway, providing more opportunities to explore this special gem in Milwaukee County Parks’ “emerald necklace”. 

You can connect with the project team and partners for Q&A, get a refresher on how we got here, and find out what to expect when restoration work expands later this year. Don’t miss a chance to meet some of the critters who call the parkway their home, “play & learn” about habitat restoration with our LMRP Passport activity and discover new ways you can help revitalize the woods and waters right in your backyard.
