The Monches Property Reforestation Project is 33% complete (view full project info)!
Goal: To plant a diversity of shrubs and trees along the Oconomowoc River Greenway to reduce pollution from agricultural land and improve water quality. The project is being completed in partnership with the Oconomowoc Watershed Protection Program (OWPP).

The Nashotah Park Native Prairie Restoration Project is complete! Learn More About the Project.
Project goal: Restore the old agricultural fields within the park to native prairie to create pollinator habitat. The native plantings will provide habitat for birds, pollinators, and other insects. The beauty of blooming flowers will also add to the natural beauty of Nashotah Park.
