Why Should You Support Urban Nature?
I am fundraising in support of urban nature and the UEC because...
Urban nature is a necessity. As cities continue to grow, natural habitats and biodiversity are rapidly decreasing. However, with proper planning, community support and dedication to a cause, we can create a city where both people and nature thrive.
I am so proud to work for an organization that brings this important mission to life!
Benefits of Urban Nature in Milwaukee:
- Improves learning and mental performance
- Provides a safe place to play and wonder
- Encourages environmental stewardship
- Inspires sustainable solutions
- Builds climate resiliency
- and brings SO MUCH LIFE to our city!
100% of the funds raised through HKE MKE stay in our community and help the Urban Ecology Center:
- Teach tens of thousands of urban youth about science and nature through hands-on experiences in green spaces in their own neighborhoods
- Manage over 80 acres of native habitat in three Milwaukee parks
- Study the health of wildlife populations in Milwaukee including, turtles, frogs, mammals, invertebrates, snakes, and bats
- Connect community members to unique resources such as outdoor recreation and continued education opportunities.
