Community Rivers Program (CRP)
Coming Together For Clean Water
We all benefit from having clean and healthy rivers. That's why we're coming together as a community to plan, design, and build projects that will keep our stretch of the Milwaukee River beautiful and livable for generations to come. For more info and upcoming events, visit us at:

The CRP is excited to have been awarded a grant through the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin for conducting water conservation workshops. This includes painting and installing one rain barrel at each participating school. We will be working with three local elementary schools (St. John's in Newburg, Woodview Elementary in Grafton, and Saukville Elementary). These projects will start in early 2020 and will be completed by early summer. We are looking forward to working with the teachers and students!
The Community Rivers Program had a fun filled fall with our Watershed Bus Tour and Music in the Mushroom events. Through these programs, we were able to collabrate with Ozaukee County, NRCS, Clean Farm Families, and the Grafton and Saukville Historical Societies. A huge thank you goes out to all of these groups for their involvement in our CRP programs!
