Riverkeepers Earth Day clean up in photos. The Hank Aaron trail marker is next to Ecology Center. It's a nice place to walk the river. It is apparent that the trail is being maintained and also improvements added steadily. Very nice ??

My family enjoyed time in the Urban Ecology Center during the winter luminarias hike on Hank Aaron Trail. Loads of displays to admire. Conveniently located close to trail and staff was friendly and helpful.

As a whole I agree and support the mission of the Urban Ecology Center and other groups that work to help industry and ecology to work together to preserve as much the Milwaukee area ecology as possible as well as growth of industry and jobs. In the past 3 centuries as this country was being populated and settled and towns and cities grew, often the ecology was given little or no consideration and suffered from over extraction of all natural resources and not returning. Organizations such as Urban Ecology Center, Menomonie Valley Partners, Friends of Hank Aaron State Trail, the Dept. of Natural Resources and numerous other groups and orgs. work to preserve our ecology as much as possible in a world of rapidly growing population and all that will come with that. I feel that eventually the ecology will lose the fight but groups like this work to slow that process so we will have a green world to enjoy as long as possible.

I have been coming to the Urban Ecology Center Menomonee Valley for years now and it's about time I wrote a review! The UEC is an absolutely wonderful organization that is doing amazing work in the city of Milwaukee. Their passion for nature and protecting our city's natural beauty is amazing. But their programming is really where it's at! As a teacher, I can speak firsthand about the incredible job that the UEC is doing to teach young people to love their environment.The UEC has programming for all ages and their staff does a great job ensuring that the activities are age appropriate and tons of fun. They take groups on hikes, explore the river, learn about Wisconsin habitats, and much more. At the Menomonee Valley location, they have an animal room that guests can visit that includes snakes, turtles, and salamanders. They also have tons of outdoor equipment that you can rent, such as snow shoes, canoes, and even wearable gear like boots and gloves. They make outdoor adventure easy and accessible. My students especially love the secret slide they have inside the center. Always so fun! I can't say enough good things about my experiences with the UEC. If you work with kids, I highly recommend looking into a partnership. They even have their own buses that can come pick up your students! We are so fortunate to have the UEC here in Milwaukee and I highly recommend it to everyone!
