Committee approves multiple grants for river, creek and wetland restoration projects
Summary
The Natural Resources Committee unanimously approved submittal and acceptance of several grant applications — three from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Sustain Our Great Lakes program and one NOAA Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant — to support restoration work on the Upper Milwaukee River, Mole Creek and Sucker Creek.
The Ozaukee County Natural Resources Committee approved four grant actions April 3 to support stream, wetland, floodplain and invasive species restoration in several watersheds.
Planning & Parks staff secured unanimous committee approval to submit and accept: a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Sustain Our Great Lakes grant for invasive species management in the Upper Milwaukee River project area; NFWF Sustain Our Great Lakes grants for stream and habitat restoration on Mole Creek and Sucker Creek; and a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant to support additional restoration activities on Sucker Creek. Each motion passed unanimously and will allow the county to pursue the listed grant awards and associated restoration work.
Committee members discussed timelines and project status for the Sucker Creek work during the NOAA BIL agenda item. Specific grant award amounts were not stated in committee minutes; next steps include grant acceptance paperwork and project scheduling within the Planning & Parks Department.
