In WI, There s Plenty of Room for Riverkeepers

Credit Adobe Stock   A volunteer-driven effort to patrol and clean up three primary rivers in Milwaukee hopes to inspire similar movements across the state. Organizers say Wisconsin needs more riverkeepers. The state s only current waterkeeper has led work along the Milwaukee River Basin since the 1990s. Goals include improving flood management, water quality and wildlife. Cheryl Nenn, riverkeeper for the Milwaukee River Basin, said there are a host of non-profits and agencies keeping an eye out, but in the broader region, there are few citizen-style efforts driven by science and advocacy. She noted a lack of public awareness leaves gaps in monitoring natural resources, which could harm the state s water-tourism industry.
