Known as the father of the poster, Chéret was one of the first artists to bring colorful, large-scale advertisements to Paris streets, creating what critics called a “museum in the open air.” People strolling down the boulevards were captivated not only by Chéret’s vibrant images, but also by how frequently his new designs appeared. Chéret had developed new printing methods that allowed him to meet the fast pace that advertisers demanded to promote their latest entertainments and products. The ephemeral nature of these posters contributed to the popular idea that rapid change was central to modern life.</span></span><p></p><p><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilr5WnzNEquGB2xl7L5JhyUQKKVTnDpOzpb5N2BEUA0gDk95FyM3LhMBA305gxYc-2in2v7jk6-oUZfNZgYs7V8MGF7CemeI2s6g19gMTWvZGLUeVSzOfKyFWSpD8uBMyU2H9dWTFY1ZytHgnGOaqsSzQQW-EDSJ9kkztz4LqU4v-Q0q40gQvvVDaxBA/w240-h320/IMG_2249.jpeg" width="240" /></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Always New: The Posters of Jules Chéret</span><span style="background-color: white;"> presents 109 posters, prints, and drawings by Chéret that reflect the French interest in novelty at the end of the 19th century.

font-family: verdana;">The Denver-based design firm Tres Birds was tasked with creating a space that speaks to the collection, both materially and experientially. They chose humble materials such as wood and concrete to echo the frequent use of each in the work in the collection. Hugging the hillside it is built on, the building is irregularly shaped and utilizes corners, recesses, and vistas as opportunities for discovery. Noting the relationship of the design to the collection and the site, the architects write:</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;"></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGH8gods1Nk1YuJMXP_rIwDAIiYJtgLYseferXfb4tcP8CRpK8_xXghSXrU-CKCAHQgzNzPAqHhdCIOJW0Wz6w5ROHLpiZU1Dsx1eOiurjszhhvO5QSuT7uQTwyoPfUwgsnaonYQVAfEnPIdVcVkEEcFXPFgA_CoHvCB1KVR0Zr6dGLmq5DlVBqyKROg/s4032/Kohler_Art_Prserve_010.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></i></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>The collection informed the shape and form of the building in two ways. As much of the collection was built and exhibited outdoors and draws power from this connection, the form of the building was influenced by this in the way that apertures have been placed throughout the space so the art has connections to the exterior. Whether it’s a grand view of the Sheboygan River across Lower Falls Road or a view to the adjacent wooded hillside, views and light have been curated to create an ever-changing space in which the art lives. The collection has been described as work built by humble people using humble materials to create extraordinary work. The materiality of the building follows suit by using regional river rock and timber in innovative ways. For example, the regional river rock has been exposed in the exterior concrete work and the polished concrete floors. The regionally sourced “timber shades” are used to shade the interior of the space to protect the collection, but they also represent the experience of the trees located on the hillside surrounding the building.</i></div></span><div><p></p>

These works from the John Michael Kohler Arts Center collection exemplify the wide-ranging and complex artist-built environments contained at the Art Preserve.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 7px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Art Preserve is an experimental space designed to house the Arts Center’s collection of over thirty-five artist-built environments. More than a building, it is a platform for ongoing explorations and investigations into these environments, their makers, and the Arts Center’s role as their institutional steward. It embodies the Arts Center’s conviction that significant, original, and compelling works of art are created everywhere, by people from a broad spectrum of life experiences.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 7px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Walking through the building provides a variety of encounters with methods of display and exhibition. Most of the sites represented in the collection have a designated, specially designed display area evoking an aspect of their original location. Some collections are arrayed on densely packed monumental shelves or racks meant to feel overwhelming, while others have been installed as completely immersive environments intended to be transportive.</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 7px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Because the Art Preserve also serves as the active storage facility for the Arts Center’s collection, an area of museum operations not normally accessible to the public, visitors are invited to learn more about the collection while contemporary artists, conservators, researchers, and Arts Center staff address issues of presentation, conservation, and scholarship in real time.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 7px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBkTGN4pOFr5NJ-GpfIGU-mYkLF8mn617q-rIxGwM9XZzW6ZPZ9WQrY7Lkfg14UuBf1i0XjspEJQa35PPd3P4yHQPzfeVrWAE7f1Si-D80NBOaQRQy5B0ZLUddkNBiCc6xe3ClhkVu1nA8yNq3NViuiFiDeNR_R1lfABPWT7U-kYrDF9IE0EL-93IZQ/s4032/Kohler_Art_Prserve_010.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBkTGN4pOFr5NJ-GpfIGU-mYkLF8mn617q-rIxGwM9XZzW6ZPZ9WQrY7Lkfg14UuBf1i0XjspEJQa35PPd3P4yHQPzfeVrWAE7f1Si-D80NBOaQRQy5B0ZLUddkNBiCc6xe3ClhkVu1nA8yNq3NViuiFiDeNR_R1lfABPWT7U-kYrDF9IE0EL-93IZQ/w480-h640/Kohler_Art_Prserve_010.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNr2vs8lsKY4hkUAkc0StjtVF53e417khpVJJd3S7Cl757lK9rjsPy7c8fYoxQ0OwutqoMZLwNgLOblkGAEde2KRbX93zeQfd6nbd6HjaWTwzOK0hOofBSp4zIYGMihcgiTnpgZCPiC9573xG7CqoXjh4wG-3INKhCEcB1AOd4Q5D24kr8A2L0SVq8JQ/s4032/Kohler_Art_Prserve_011.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNr2vs8lsKY4hkUAkc0StjtVF53e417khpVJJd3S7Cl757lK9rjsPy7c8fYoxQ0OwutqoMZLwNgLOblkGAEde2KRbX93zeQfd6nbd6HjaWTwzOK0hOofBSp4zIYGMihcgiTnpgZCPiC9573xG7CqoXjh4wG-3INKhCEcB1AOd4Q5D24kr8A2L0SVq8JQ/w480-h640/Kohler_Art_Prserve_011.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg462xf-egoIlsMgplEKV0Akha5WW0aY87fjZRiY3ymlVANUZbb6gHD8WK9G-pBghnzenOCp9FtGmqiWvdHpheFbj3FQ3a3zIbWVBRv-FaGZA8g0tJISqzJMOOcSrvxN7G8Bt_pGOO1ITIvJZXYbktkOLudxfJ6feSx1v5fJqb00VN6QyilkBaNH5b5lQ/s4032/Kohler_Art_Prserve_120.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg462xf-egoIlsMgplEKV0Akha5WW0aY87fjZRiY3ymlVANUZbb6gHD8WK9G-pBghnzenOCp9FtGmqiWvdHpheFbj3FQ3a3zIbWVBRv-FaGZA8g0tJISqzJMOOcSrvxN7G8Bt_pGOO1ITIvJZXYbktkOLudxfJ6feSx1v5fJqb00VN6QyilkBaNH5b5lQ/w480-h640/Kohler_Art_Prserve_120.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLI40WRGXR16sJ2qLBVq3se_4ZLyAQpgWeknSFcFGszFKusTBrdFZxmAYWIpP7Gh259-geG98yAr3RLd1PZHjU-PUThlHe3QvTckJz6hTwtck4OlQDZ7GqaKpF5nqGn9ntUedkjzTR2IOkD1skvqguwxSXVGd-I-K6TrOpVCowusdysf5mewvtFDlTjQ/s4032/Kohler_Art_Prserve_139.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLI40WRGXR16sJ2qLBVq3se_4ZLyAQpgWeknSFcFGszFKusTBrdFZxmAYWIpP7Gh259-geG98yAr3RLd1PZHjU-PUThlHe3QvTckJz6hTwtck4OlQDZ7GqaKpF5nqGn9ntUedkjzTR2IOkD1skvqguwxSXVGd-I-K6TrOpVCowusdysf5mewvtFDlTjQ/w480-h640/Kohler_Art_Prserve_139.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><div><br /></div></div>Richard Bublitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12930053763445463214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028091313946227534.post-78467241718963629522020-09-22T10:08:00.000-05:002020-09-22T10:09:00.074-05:00Eagle Segment of The Wisconsin Ice Age Trail<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On this blustery winter day, I decided to post some images of one of my favorite hikes from this past summer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Eagle segment of the Ice Age trail is in the southern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest and features an expansive prairie, a scenic vista, and an exposed portion of the Niagara Escarpment - usually hidden underground. Wildlife, flora, and fauna all abound as the generally flat trail crosses the prairie.</span></span></div>
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started at the northern access to the Eagle segment from STH-67 with plans to go south to Bradys Rocks. I had no idea at the time, just how far that was.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Approximately 1/2 mile south of the entrance at STH-167 is a hunters access that has a small parking lot. It should probably be avoided during hunting season. From here, it crosses IAT, take it to the left to Bradys rocks or right a short distance to the springs. But, it might be another adventure to continue to the west.</span> </div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Beginning in 1979, thirty acres of land was purchased with the intent to preserve it from development. Over the years additional adjacent parcels were acquired. Today the Zoo encompasses 100 acres. Shalom's wildlife began as a deer farm with native whitetail deer that were purchased from the State of Wisconsin. People would come to see those "Big Bucks" on guided wagon ride tours through the property. The tours provided a great opportunity to educate visitors on animals, plants, habitat and Native American culture. In 1990 Bison and Elk were added for additional wildlife viewing enjoyment. Soon red fox, raccoon, skunk and mink were purchased and put on exhibit. Every year more species are added. In 2002 self guided tours were made available for those that wanted to walk, and in 2006 golf carts were added for those who were unable to walk. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paradise Springs has been owned by many different people.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paradise Springs is about 5 feet deep and maintains a temperature of about 47 degrees F. year-round. Over 30,000 gallons of water flow from this spring each hour—that’s 500 gallons each minute. Paradise Springs sits in a bowl-shaped depression where the water table reaches the surface.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most spring houses served a purely functional purpose—to protect the springs and to allow access to the water. This spring house was beautiful as well as functional. Mr. Petit built this spring house in the early 1930s with a wooden-and-copper dome roof and colorful fieldstone walls, no doubt one of the most elaborate spring houses ever built in Wisconsin. Though the roof is gone, the beauty of this spring house remains.</span></span><br />

They also had a menagerie of animals which included peacocks, monkeys and pheasants. This pond is still stocked with brook trout for your fishing and visual enjoyment. The wooden cribs you see below the surface provide hiding places for young trout. Brook trout are the only trout species native to the Kettle Moraine and are still found in cold spring water ponds and brooks throughout the region. In October, the trout in this pond spawn lay their eggs near the spring house on the gravel bottom. When spawning, brook trout turn a vibrant pink color and are easier to spot.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Located along Lake Michigan in the town of Belgium, Forest Beach Migratory Preserve is 116 acres. This preserve contains a 5-acre hardwood forest with ephemeral (seasonal) ponds, open grassland and prairie, a partially wooded ravine and 5 constructed wetland ponds. The site was previously a golf course but OWLT purchased the land because the property’s location and attributes lend itself to supporting migratory birds along the Lake Michigan Flyway. Immediately upon acquisition in 2008, the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> began stewardship activities including invasive and exotic plant control.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Today the preserve hosts a "patchwork quilt" of habitats that support all kinds of migratory birds, reptiles and mammals. An interpretive trail system invites visitors to meander through the preserve learning about the restoration efforts and the unique restored habitats. Visit this preserve to hike, bird watch, fish, hunt or cross country ski.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Beulah Bog State Natural Area is perhaps not that popular as it is not that easy to navigate for some people. The trail is direct and ranges from easy, to moderate terrain and then to difficult toward the end. With that being said, the views at the end of the trail are an absolute delight.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Beulah Bog lies in a series of four kettle holes and features an undisturbed bog with many unusual plants more typical of northern bogs. Classical stages of ecological succession are exhibited in the bog including: a shallow bog lake dominated by watershield with white and yellow water-lilies and extensive floating mud flats; an advancing, quaking sedge and sphagnum mat between 25 and 50 feet wide; northern wet forest of tamarack and bog shrubs and; a wet open moat surrounding the main bog, dominated by wild calla and cat-tails. Undisturbed bogs in this area are rare and the site supports a number of regionally rare plants with more northern affinities including dense cotton grass, large and small cranberry, and small bladderwort. The site harbors six species of insectivorous plants including pitcher plant, sundew and bladderwort. The bog lake provides habitat for bullfrog, several dragonfly species and other invertebrates. Beulah Bog is owned by the DNR and was designated a State Natural Area in 1975.</span></span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Very few State Natural Areas have public facilities, but nearly all are open for a variety of recreational activities. Generally, there are no picnic areas, restrooms, or other developments. Parking lots or designated parking areas are noted on individual SNA pages and maps. Trails, if present, are typically undesignated footpaths. If a developed trail is present, it will normally be noted on the SNA map and/or under the "Access" tab. A compass and topographic map or a GPS unit are useful tools for exploring larger, isolated SNAs.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The corner of S. Lake Drive and E. Armour Avenue is a sight to behold. In addition to the partially buried 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood, the yard, at 4531 S. Lake Drive, features a 1946 Farmall McCormick tractor with a mannequin farmer driving it and waving an American flag.</span><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rick Serocki has turned his small yard into an unofficial Wisconsin museum with vintage call boxes, street pavers, telephone booths and other items salvaged from around the state. The addition of the Cadillac to the collection has prompted complaints. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Over the years, Serocki added to his exhibit rapidly and randomly. He found old Milwaukee downtown street bricks and created a walkway. He spent hundreds of dollars buying lightning rods from Waukesha County barns, farm equipment from Racine County and even a large gazebo from a former West Allis bookstore.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Summer has arrived, and lush leaf cover shades much of the Center’s six miles of trails. Flowering prairie plants rise to greet the bright summer sun and a cool breeze accompanies the fossils washing up along our Lake Michigan shoreline.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My adventures generally start as a purpose for a walking exercise, where I just happen to bring my camera along. While these images may not necessarily be newsworthy, they do serve a purpose for exploring the beauty of what surround us. And to get away from the tribulations we experience today. Thank goodness for these natural sanctuaries. </span></span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Blue Heron is a 90-plus acre wildlife sanctuary, which was once a farm, and has been dedicated to protect native wildlife and plants. The property is on the west bank of the Milwaukee River, contains a pond and a number of streams, and is open to the public during daylight hours. Members of the public are welcome to walk Blue Heron's trails, take a boardwalk to the pond (north and west of the log-cabin style visitor center, picnic along the Milwaukee River (follow the trail from the parking lot down to the River), or snowshoe or cross-country ski in the winter. Enjoy the scenery and the diverse plants and animals.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Solvay Coke & Gas plant originally opened in 1906 and closed its doors in April, 1983. Plans to demolish the expansive site have been in the works for years, but the intensive cleanup efforts mandated by the EPA have put this plant in limbo. It is, after all, a Superfund site: arsenic, lead, asbestos, and a whole host of other chemicals have been mixed into the ground.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A federal bankruptcy judge in Illinois last month signed off on a plan to sell the land this spring. Wisconsin Gas, a subsidiary of WEC Energy Group in Milwaukee, is the leading bidder to buy the property with a $4 million offer. WEC Energy has said it wants to work with the city and Harbor District to revitalize the property, but hasn’t released any specific plans.</span></span></div>

Other companies must submit offers of at least $4.2 million by March 21. If any competing bids emerge, an auction will be held April 3.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During the war years the mill was a major supplier of wool blankets for the war effort. In 1945 the mill stopped it’s weaving operation and stopped making blankets. After World War II the mill continued specialty hand weaving yarns and other items like caps and tassels for the wholesale trade.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 1969 the mill ceased operations and was put up for sale. The Wittenberg family, headed by Carl Wittenberg, accepted an offer from developers who wanted to tear the mill down and put up a gas station. Stephen Fischer, the mayor of Cedarburg at the time, was a preservationist and asked Carl Wittenberg to allow him 6 months to find an alternative buyer to preserve the buildings. That 6 month period ended in February of 1972.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Milwaukee’s Brady Street neighborhood, bounded by the Milwaukee River, Lake Michigan, Ogdon Avenue, and Kane Place, is arguably the most densely-populated square mile in the state of Wisconsin. A mix of historic shops, single-family homes, apartments, and condos. Brady Street boasts of great diversity that draws from many distinct eras. It began in the mid-19th century as a crossroads between middle-class Yankees from the East and early German settlers. Polish and Italian immigrants soon followed, working the mills, tanneries, and breweries that lined the riverbank. After these groups had assimilated and many of their descendants moved to the suburbs, the hippies in the 1960s arrived with their counterculture to fill the void. By the 1980s, the area fell into blight, neglect, and decay; now, a true model for new urbanism, the Brady Street neighborhood is in the midst of a renaissance.</span></span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Named in 1840, Brady Street has been the Lower East Side’s main drag since the late-19th century. Early on, the neighborhood mostly attracted working-class residents and its main street always blended commerce and housing. St. Hedwig’s Catholic Church, the street’s towering landmark, was built in 1886 to anchor the Polish community. It’s one of several buildings faced in the city’s distinctive Cream City brick.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A fine Fall Day on the Menomonee River Parkway. I had spent a lot of youthful Summers at "Menomonee". To me, too much of this parkway has been left to go natural.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Projects along the parkway during the last two years, included dredging the lagoon, which had deteriorated with algae and stagnant water over the years; tearing out invasive species of trees and preparing to plant replacements; and performing sewer work prior to having the parkway repaved. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They had created four bays in the lagoon so that storm sewer water will flow into them and be cleaned naturally before flowing into the Menomonee River.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The project relies on the course of nature. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It takes a lot of time to have the soils and the vegetation just right.. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The project has been supported by a $100,000 grant from the Fund for Lake Michigan. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The area will require maintenance as new oak and maple trees replace invasive species such as buckthorn and honeysuckle</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px;">The Milwaukee River Greenway is a six mile section of the Milwaukee River that has shaped much of Milwaukee’s development. Home to Native American settlements followed by European settlers, the river has supported diverse communities with sustenance, industrial power, and recreation. During the first half of the 20th Century, the river was the center of water recreation in the city, with swimming schools, slides, ice skating, and even an amusement park. Unfortunately, as pollution increased and water quality declined, the river was no longer suitable for these activities.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The removal of the North Ave Dam in 1997 began a turnaround in the river’s fortunes as urban dwellers and wildlife returned to this resilient shoreline in the most densely populated municipality in the state. When the dam was removed, the flats along the river which had formerly been submerged were exposed. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The City of Milwaukee, Department of Natural Resources, and Milwaukee County worked together to stabilize these areas. Since then, the ecological restoration activities of Milwaukee County Parks and Coalition members have had an incredible impact. Water quality has slowly but steadily improved. Fish diversity has jumped six fold. The river acts as a flyway and home for over 200 species of birds, numerous mammals, amphibians, reptiles and unique flora, including several threatened species. People have begun using the space again as well, fishing, paddling, hiking, jogging, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing in this unique urban natural corridor.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The 2.5 miles of river from the Estabrook Dam to the <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://milwaukeenotebook.com/2014/06/25/that-which-divides-us-the-legacy-of-the-north-avenue-dam/" target="_blank">North Avenue Dam</a></span></b> narrowed considerably as the free-flowing river resumed a more natural course. The drawdown also exposed more than 150 years of accumulated garbage. During the summers of 1991 and 1992, Youth Conservation Corps members and numerous volunteers removed and recycled more than 2,000 tires and about 600 yards of other debris including auto parts, shopping carts and appliances. Water quality and habitat was improving. Fish subsequently moved in from populations upstream and downstream of the former dam.</span></span></div>
