Wild Indigo is a community engagement program of the National Audubon Society that seeks to connect urban communities of color in the Great Lakes region to their local natural areas.  Wild Indigo came to Milwaukee in 2020 and has been a welcome addition to the community. Wild Indigo creates and provides nature-based activities tailored for communities of color that address concerns around accessibility, safety, and wellness.  Their programs target youth who then become environmental leaders and advocates.  Over the past year, Wild Indigo participants have worked with Nearby Nature and other local organizations to help steward the Lincoln Creek Greenway. udubon will hire cohorts of six to nine teenage interns for six ten-week periods over the course of two years to learn about, lead and work on community science initiatives, outdoor programming, watershed advocacy and habitat restoration work. Through a series of field experiences including bird hikes, kayaking, community asset mapping, and stewardship activities, participants will use a variety of hands-on tools and digital applications to collect, analyze and contribute data to community science monitoring initiatives focused on habitat and water quality. Teens learn about and visit a range of Milwaukee area watershed green spaces, from relatively natural, protected spaces like Horicon Marsh to highly impacted urbanized waterways like the Lincoln Creek Greenway.
