Our goal is to provide an alternative venue for citizens to explore issues around the heritage and future of the Penokee Range of Northern Wisconsin.

Our exhibit is a collective exploration of the past, present and possible futures for the Penokee Hills. We invite you to: learn some facts, get to know the area, take a walk in the woods, meet the people of the Penokees and envision a sustainable future for the area.

Enthusiasm for Black Ash Baskets and Prayer Flags!

We hung April Stone Dahl’s the black ash basket and materials along with Peg Sandin’s watercolor prayer flags in the entry foyer at the UEC.  They were immediately popular with visitors and families and got lots of positive comments and interested questions.baskets

Opening – Great Gathering

We had a wonderful reception at the Urban Ecology Center (1500 East Park Place, Milwaukee).  Nearly 100 people attended the opening reception on April 8th.  We had a number of eloquent speakers including Bad River Tribal member and elder, Donna Yahola, Midwest Environmental Associates, Dennis Grezinsky, and conservation activist and essayist, Eric Hansen.  Donna sang a beautiful blessing to open the evening.  Eric shared hie perspectives as a long time Penokee hiker and writer, with Dennis giving an overview of the environmental and legal issues.

Terry Daulton also shared comments on the artists and work of the exhibit.  The evening was a great way to bring Penokee enthusiasts from northern and southern Wisconsin together for a shared celebration.
