MENOMONEE
VALLEY TOUR HIKE and EAT
What do fishing, baseball and pizza have in common? Come discover on a new GAMMA adventure, a hike and guided tour of Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley with urban geographer Gerry O. In the last ten years, there has been a remarkable resurgence of economic activity and river restoration in this long neglected industrial area. We can lunch at the valley’s new pizzeria Palermo’s. Each participant will have the option of a shorter one-hour hike or a longer excursion.

The typical volunteer job requires about 3-4 hours of time. Most jobs allow you to also participate as a walker if desired.
