The UEC staff is fundraising in support of urban nature and our important work 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 - as evident by the efforts of the Urban Ecology Center and YOU! 

Benefits of Urban Nature in Milwaukee: 

• Improves learning and mental performance 
• Provides a safe place to play and wonder 
• Encourgaes environmental stewardship 
• Inspires sustainable solutions 
• Builds climate resilency 
• and brings SO MUCH LIFE to our city! 

100% of the funds raised through HKE MKE stay in our community and help us:

• 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.
