Milwaukee River Exploration
This exploratory hike takes place at the Center’s 40-acre property on the Milwaukee River, off Brown Deer Road. Students will identify many animals that utilize this unique natural area and their activities. By wading in the shallow riffle areas adjacent to the forest and using various nets and seines to capture water creatures, students calculate the biotic index and confirm the relatively high quality of the river. Schlitz Audubon supplies hip waders and other supplies.
