Calling all Mequonites and River Lovers!
Next week the Mequon Common Council is considering permits for Ozaukee County’s Little Menomonee River Corridor Ecosystem Restoration Project. The decision was held over from the last meeting due to some community concerns.
Milwaukee Riverkeeper supports this project, which is the first of several projects that will restore large sections of the Little Menomonee River—converting channelized or straightened portions of stream into naturally meandering river that connects to adjacent floodplains and wetlands.
The project will:
- improve native plant diversity
- improve ecological function
- restore wetland habitat
- improve fish and wildlife habitat and provide spawning areas for Northern pike and other native fish species
- improve water quality
- reduce flooding
The project site is on a 56 acre lot owned by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District for flood management.
NOTE: If you would like to provide a statement about this project during the meeting, you should submit a registration slip to the clerk before the beginning of the meeting and plan to present your comment during the “public comment” agenda item during the meeting.
Learn more about this project here. The agenda has not been posted yet, but will be posted here. If you cannot attend, please send a note to the Mequon Common Council below.
