Sunset Hike Tomorrow at Havenwoods State Forest

Alderwoman Andrea M. Pratt is encouraging the public to attend a sunset hike tomorrow (Thursday, February 20) at Havenwoods State Forest (6141 N. Hopkins St.) from 5-5:30 p.m. followed by hot cocoa and a presentation from 5:45-6:45 p.m.

The event will be led by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and habitat restoration design consultants as they will discuss the future habitat improvements at Havenwoods State Forest.

This project aims to improve the native habitats and expand wetlands through large-scale habitat restoration work, to return the land at Havenwoods to diverse, native plant communities that will increase populations of rare wildlife species. This project is also part of a larger initiative to heal the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern (AOC).

“This hike is a great opportunity to take some time to be outside and get some exercise and fresh air while enjoying the beautiful landscape of Havenwoods, as well as be informed on what is going on in our community and have a voice about our environmental concerns,” said Alderwoman Pratt.

If you cannot attend in person you can join online with this Microsoft Teams meeting link and for more information about the AOC’s other projects check out their newsletter series found on the Waterway Restoration Partnership website: https://mkewaterwaypartners.org/newsletters/.
