2020 Water Quality Initiative
We are all connected by the water in our watershed. Nature-based solutions such as large-scale reforestation and wetland restoration projects improve the land’s natural capacity to absorb and manage increases in precipitation to reduce flooding, sewer overflows, and basement back-ups while creating economic, social, and environmental benefits now and into the future.
Through the Reforestation & Wetland Restoration Program, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) is working with public and private landowners to plant six million trees and restore or enhance 4,000 acres of wetlands in the Greater Milwaukee Watersheds. These large-scale natural flood management strategies work to mimic the natural water cycle to reduce flooding, basement back-ups, and sewer overflows to improve human and ecological health.
