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:
