GILS Floating Islands Receives Brookby Foundation Grant

Groundwork Milwaukee has been awarded a grant for $45,687 from The Brookby Foundation for the Gateway to Improved Long-Term Spawning (GILS) Floating Islands project. Groundwork Milwaukee and Marek Landscaping have worked together since 2013 to design, build, install and maintain four floating island installations in the Milwaukee River Estuary. This grant will fund public awareness and education initiatives on the importance of aquatic habitat in the estuary, scientific research on how the islands improve aquatic habitat, and job training opportunities for maintenance. Congratulations, Groundwork!
