Clean & Green

Grassroots Effort Begins to Blossom
Saturday, June 20th 9am-noon
You probably noticed it this summer while strolling along North Avenue. Bobby Pantuso noticed it. He came to a TETNA meeting and expressed his concern over the abundant crop of weeds and grass overtaking North Avenue’s sidewalks in recent years. He suggested an organized clean-up along North Avenue from 76th Street to 60th Street.
Kick start the summer with this great family activity. Young and old can do their part to make a difference in our community. Bring your brooms, shovels, favorite weeding tools, and the desire to boost pride in North Avenue. The city of Wauwatosa will provide and collect garbage bags.
Who Can Help?
Businesses along North Avenue
Other Neighborhood Associations
School and Church Groups
Environmental Organizations
Civic Groups
If you are interested in volunteering contact Bobby Pantuso at bobby@pantuso.com. Watch for updates on the TETNA website.

All Ages Welcome Experience the fun of discovery with children. Explore hidden treasures within our city. Bring your kids and/or grandkids to Milwaukee County Grounds for short-but-sweet nature walks.

May 9th: Spot out the tad poles at the County Grounds’ ponds. Learn about the metamorphosis of the bull frog and listen for them to croak. Feed some nearby dried berries to the fish. Heads up:
Wear your galoshes! Meet across the street from Wis. Lutheran College at 89th and Wisconsin Ave.

May 16th: Watch in wonder as the cedar waxwings fuel up on fruited shrubs. Look for other birds as they migrate from Central or South America to as far north as Canada. Meet at Wil-O-Way Underwood Recreation Ctr, 10602 Underwood Pkwy, S/W of Hansen golf course. For map click here.
