Participating in a river cleanup is not only great for the environment but also an educational experience for kids and adults alike. It’s an opportunity to learn about local wildlife, protect our waterways, and connect with other environmentally-conscious community members. Plus, spending time outdoors in Estabrook and Hubbard Parks is a beautiful way to enjoy Milwaukee’s natural landscape.
