Urban Ecology Center

The Milwaukee River Work Group (MRWG)
is a coalition of organizations concerned with the Milwaukee River, including representatives from the Urban Ecology Center, Friends of Milwaukee’s Rivers, and River Revitalization Foundation, along with other state and federal agencies, businesses and individuals.
