When @RootPikeWIN @UWParkside started the Pollinator Patch Program, we wanted kids to have experiential learning from prep to native planting to monitoring. @Bose_School teachers & staff made it happen w/o big $. Thank you @SCJPublicAffrs for the support!

Love is in the air!... I mean water.
#LakeMichigan spring spawning #steelhead #trout moving up into the smallest tributaries of the #PikeRiver. A magnificent surprise!
@RootPikeWIN is working to restore these streams & bring back native trout. A long shot, but worth pursuing!
Check out @RootPikeWIN's river restoration collaboration with @microsoft. It's a dirty ditch to clean creek transformation!

Thanks to all the paddlers that came out to a warm and cozy #RiverBendNatureCenter to share their ideas on the new Horlick Park Kayak Launch. @RootPikeWIN is grateful to @RacineCounty, #WisconsinCoastalManagementProgram & @NOAA for the grant funding to make this effort possible.
Exciting news! @RootPikeWIN received a grant from the #NationalResourcesFoundationofWI to support our #PollinatorPatchProgram. Funding will help us expand native plantings & educate K-12 students on the power & purpose of native plants.
