Milwaukee River Advocates Co-op

Milwaukee River Advocates Co-op MRA Co-op is an education, stewardship, and advocacy group. We work to collectively protect and renew the natural habitat of the Milwaukee River.

The Milwaukee River is a primary environmental corridor. Its wetlands habitat is continuously threatened by such things as development, vandalism, intense and irresponsible recreational use, the spread of invasive species, and management which is short-sighted, driven more by grants than by the health of the ecosystem.

Please show up and let the County know that we want the trails to stay foot trails only. Mountain bikers are once again advocating for trails to be used for bikes. This is incompatible with hiking, disruptive to the already-stressed wildlife, and destructive to the native plants and ecosystem.

We’re updating the Milwaukee County Trails Network Plan — and we want YOU to help shape the future! 🥾

On the heels of a Trail Projects Campaign conducted over the past two years, Milwaukee County Parks is developing a visionary and implementable update to the existing 2007 Trails Network Plan. The planning process will provide an opportunity for community input to ensure new trails meet the needs of trail users.

Join the conversation at an upcoming public input meeting and be part of the change https://www.mkecountyparks.org/trails-network-plan
