For our October program, Cheryl Nenn, Riverkeeper at Milwaukee Riverkeeper for almost 19 years, will talk about the history of the Milwaukee River Basin, including its legacy of pollution and habitat destruction, and the current state of the rivers. She'll also offer updates on work to protect and restore the Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnickinnic rivers so  they can be safely used and enjoyed by everyone in our community.

As the Milwaukee Riverkeeper, Cheryl patrols local waterways, identifies problems in the Milwaukee River Basin, responds to citizen concerns, reviews permits, and helps find collaborative solutions to problems affecting local rivers.

She has a B.S. in biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an M.S. in natural resource ecology and management from the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment.
