PCI Supports Milwaukee Riverkeeper’s Adopt-a-River Program
Milwaukee Riverkeeper® is an organization dedicated to protecting, improving, and advocating for water quality, riparian wildlife habitats, and sound land management in the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic River Watersheds.
The organization envisions a future where people from all walks of life can enjoy the healthy waterways of the Milwaukee River Basin. Milwaukee Riverkeeper is a licensed member of the Waterkeeper Alliance, an international coalition dedicated to ensuring clean water and strong communities.
On Saturday, October 12, PCI employees participated in Milwaukee Riverkeeper’s Adopt-a-River program. A team of seven joined in the river cleanup in Milwaukee, WI, spanning from 91st and Good Hope Road to Mill Road. Participants trekked through grass and weeds along the river on a chilly morning to collect a total of seven garbage bags full of trash and debris. Dedicated to helping keep their community a beautiful, pollution-free place to live and work, the group enjoyed working together and felt accomplished once the task was complete.
Spanning over 882 square miles, the Milwaukee River Basin covers areas in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, and Dodge Counties, and includes the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic River Watersheds. The Milwaukee Riverkeeper volunteer water quality monitors help track water quality throughout the year. These volunteers help identify questionable practices and more.
PCI remains committed to keeping our waterways clean and safe. If you’d like to join us in our efforts, learn more about volunteer opportunities with the Milwaukee Riverkeeper organization.
