Urban Ecology Center

Their mission is to educate the Milwaukee community about the environment, conservation, sustainability, and other issues related to urban ecology, as well as to preserve and protect the natural areas in the city.

All three branches have a specific focus on urban nature and programs concerning conservation, which have revitalized their respective neighborhoods, which have experienced economic downturn and criminal activity.

The park has a wide variety of wildlife and is a migratory stop over site for many species.

There is a restored Oak savanna in the arboretum, one of the most endangered habitats in the United States.
