Celebrate Milwaukee's Urban Wilderness! July 6, 2008, 2-4pm: Urban Ecology Center, 1500 E. Park Pl. Milwaukee, WI
Sponsored by FMR, Urban Wilderness intertwines photography and storytelling to promote an appreciation for clean water and natural environments in our community. The book celebrates an intriguing and unexpected reality: natural beauty in an urban setting. Documenting the conditions within the Milwaukee River watershed, it envisions the preservation and restoration of natural areas along the region's rivers and streams.
Urban Wilderness may be preordered from Friends of Milwaukee's Rivers by contacting Erin Hartman at 414-287-0207x 34. Profits from all books ordered through Friends of Milwaukee's Rivers will return to the organization.
