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 - 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 ourcommunity 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.
