Help clean up Wehr Nature Center and connect with nature.

Part I

The details

About this event

The New Volunteer Open House at Wehr Nature Center is more than just a clean-up; it's an opportunity to connect with nature and make a tangible impact on the environment. Set in the scenic Whitnall Park, this event invites people of all ages and abilities to come together for a common cause.

Volunteers will gather at the visitor center to receive their gear and instructions before heading out to assigned areas. It's a perfect way to spend a day outdoors, meet like-minded individuals, and contribute to the health of the local ecosystem. Remember to register in advance so your supplies are ready.

From the organizer

Join us to make an impact at Wehr Nature Center and throughout Whitnall Park by joining the Great Whitnall Park Clean-up. We will provide gloves, bags, and buckets for the clean-up, but feel free to bring your own. Together, we can make a huge difference in the health of our environment. All volunteers should meet at the visitor center at 10 am to receive their assigned area, equipment, and instructions. Please register by emailing Sophia.Detweiler@milwaukeecountywi.gov, so we have your supplies ready. This program is open to all ages and abilities. If you’d like to request accommodations, please contact our Access & Inclusion Coordinator Emily Brown at Emily.Brown@milwaukeecountywi.gov.
