Unveiling at Ken Euers Nature Area
The City of Green Bay’s Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department has been working with multiple conservation partners on ecological shoreline restoration and enhancements at Ken Euers Nature Area. Recent work includes the removal of invasive, non-native vegetation and restoration to the east marsh in 2019, including the repair of dikes and installing new water control features. These features allow the marsh to capture storm water and nutrients before entering Green Bay and will support shoreline protection and management for wildlife habitat. UW-Green Bay will be leading a wild rice seeding today covering 2 acres in the east impoundment to help in the continued effort. An interpretive sign has been installed at the park to highlight the recent restoration efforts and to recognize the partners who have helped with the work. The Parks Department would like to extend a big thank you to all of those involved in helping to make these improvements. Special thanks to our partners: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Ducks Unlimited, UW-Green Bay, UW-Madison Extension Forestry, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, USFWS Coastal Program, Fund for Lake Michigan, Fox River Trustee Council

What happened to the camera at metro boat launch. Sure would be nice to one once again pointed at the docks
I was on Cherry Street today ~12 pm, slow waiting for traffic to pass on Washington Street and to pick up my wife, who ran into Erbert & Gerbert's to pick up an order. There was no traffic behind me and a few cars heading south in front of me. Some "Karen" in a Green Bay Parks & Recreation Truck turning onto Cherry Street stops to rudely tell me that I better move or she's going to have me towed away. Since when do city employees substitute as cops or parking authorities? Being a respectful citizen, I moved and had to circle Washington Street twice to pick up my wife. This is why I hate going to downtown Green Bay. The parking sucks! I wish I had done as does and picked up my phone and recorded her.
Rather than send city employees to diversity training, maybe the city should send them to learn etiquette. My patience is growing thin with overzealous authoritarians. My next response to one of these "Karens" won't be as polite or respectful as it was today.

Just trying to figure out why these trees in Perkins were cut this spring...
Thanks Parks & Rec for putting up the awesome light display in St James Park! A lot of folks were out enjoying it tonight (socially distant, of course), and it really brings cheer and a bit of joy in such a dark year. We see your work and really appreciate that you all are going above and beyond.

It is still pathetic that the gb park bathrooms are closed after the parki's leave. kids should still be able to go to the park and play and use the bathroom if they have to go. not everyone lives across the st.
has it always been this way? if so i don't think i can live in gb much longer. Bellevue doesn't do this their bathrooms are open until curfew.

I have a suggestion for Perkins Park where the old tennis courts were/still are. We were in Minneapolis and they have this awesome Futsal court. We have seen people playing at the park and a court would be a great addition for those who love soccer (futbol!)
