Shoreland Educational Sign

Special thanks to the Winnebago County Audubon and the National Audubon Society, who funded the addition of an educational sign that was installed at the site. The sign was designed by committee members of the Friends of Menomonee Park Shoreland.

Plans are to fund one additional sign at the existing location to feature additional species of plants, to include an important thank you to Thomas Traxler and Marshland Transplant, and to detail sustainable water management principles.

Creating a natural area along the shores of Miller's Bay utilizing native species that help provide a visually appealing and environmentally beneficial buffer zone between land and water.

Friends of Menominee Park Shoreland provides engaged leadership to assist the community in addressing the concerns cited in the 2010 City of Oshkosh Aquatic Management Plan:

“Miller’s Bay shoreline is incredibly poor and provides no aesthetic, habitat, or buffering value to the bay. Turf maintenance along the bay’s shoreline leads to increased runoff of nutrients, sediments, and other pollutants to Lake Winnebago, while providing appealing loafing grounds to nuisance levels of Canada geese.”
