So proud and inspired by the work our colleagues at Groundwork Elizabeth are doing to combat extreme heat and flooding through micro-forests! Where would you like to see a micro-forest in Milwaukee?

We’re honored to be featured on in their story on how microforests are transforming cities! 🌳💚
Our work at Groundwork Elizabeth’s MicroFarm was highlighted as part of a growing movement to bring nature, shade, and cleaner air back into urban spaces.
These green pockets prove that small-scale environmental action can spark big change.
