See the Forest Exploration Center through a fresh lens with Cheryl Nenn of Milwaukee Riverkeeper. Cheryl’s decades of advocacy have included working to protect the County Grounds and Menomonee River.
On this guided tour we’ll discuss the important role of the Forest in filtering water going into nearby waterways. You’ll learn the importance of stormwater treatment practices to improving water quality, and the value of protecting seasonal wetlands and intermittent streams like those found in and around the FEC.
Cheryl will share insights about the nearby Underwood Creek flood management system, which conveys water into the adjacent MMDS detention ponds during flood events, ultimately draining to the Menomonee River.
Come join Cheryl for an unforgettable two hours of hiking, history, water, and forest!
