Lake Michigan Rain Gardens Initiative

You can help protect Lake Michigan by planting a rain garden. They're Mother Nature's way of reducing man-made problems like sewer overflows and polluted stormwater runoff. Rain gardens make neighborhoods more beautiful and they attract birds, butterflies and wildlife.

The Lake Michigan Rain Gardens Initiative, quite simply, is all about getting more rain gardens planted in Milwaukee County and MMSD's service area.
