We are local citizens working to protect and improve the quality and habitat of the Ulao Creek Watershed

ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP

The Ulao Creek Partnership, formed in 1995, is a well-established and focused alliance of concerned citizens, landowners, and public and private organizations dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and natural habitats in the Ulao Creek Watershed of Ozaukee County.

MORE ABOUT US
THE ULAO CREEK WATERSHED

Ulao Creek begins at the Ulao Swamp just south of Port Washington, Wisconsin. It flows south through Grafton, Cedarburg, and Mequon; where it joins the Milwaukee River just north of Thiensville. The Ulao Swamp is a 490-acre wetland at the "heart" of the 16 square mile Ulao Creek Watershed.

MORE ABOUT THE WATERSHED
GET INVOLVED

Ulao Creek Partnership has a long history of strong public support and community connections. Water supplies, animal habitat, and recreation are all dependent on healthy watersheds. There are many ways to get involved to help the Ulao Creek Watershed thrive.

PROTECTING ULAO CREEK WATERSHED Past, Present and Future

A huge thanks to Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership and Ozaukee County Watershed Coalition for sponsoring and producing this great video. And thank you to our members, including Andrew Struck of Ozaukee County Planning and Parks Department for taking part in, and sharing such valuable information about our organization.

PLANT SOME TREES

Ulao Creek reforestation is one of the UCP's goals to help replace the ash trees that have died over the past 10 years.

We are all aware of the benefits of reforestation including controlling invasive species, mitigating the effects of global climate change, improving biodiversity in the wildlife habitat, and increasing soil fertility.

We are grateful to grateful to business/corporate sponsors Dean and Sheila Koch from Chief River Nursery who have offered select inventory at no cost to UCP members.
