Saturday, April 27th River Clean-up by Canoe 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Canoe, volunteer, meet other people, and have fun! Help clean-up trash in the Kinnickinnic River by
canoe! You can explore an urban waterway, practice your canoeing skills and improve the aesthetic
quality of the river all at the same time! Canoes and PFDs provided. Meet at the Riverside Park Urban
Ecology Center.
Sunday, May 5th Citizen-based Aesthetics Monitoring Program (CAMP) training 1:00-3:00 PM
Learn how to collect river quality data through your senses. Aesthetics monitoring volunteers look for items (trash, odd colored water or strange odors) that detract from the beauty and usability of Milwaukee’s rivers. In this ongoing project, volunteers monitor one of 6 sites along the Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnickinnic, as well as the harbor and shorelines of Lake Michigan. Increase your knowledge of the rivers and connect with others through this unique opportunity.
