Woodlands and Prairie Preservation Efforts in Milwaukee County


Dr. Steven Armus is a respected presence in the Wisconsin skin care sphere who guides a practice that has been voted as Best Dermatology Practice in Milwaukee. Passionate about conserving and protecting the natural environment, Dr. Steven Armus also guides Prairie Restoration and focuses on propagating native vegetation within local areas that provide a home to wildlife. 

One of the organizations helping safeguard prairie habitat in the critical suburban/rural interface is the Milwaukee Area Land Conservancy (MALC). The efforts of the organization focus on a county in which virtually all oak savanna and prairie habitat, and more than 90 percent of natural vegetation, have been lost. 

Among MALC’s holdings is the 22.5 acre Mayer property conservation easement in Franklin, which encompasses portions of the Root River tributary Ryan Creek and encompasses hickory and white oak woodland. Another key holding is the Parade of Homes-Prairie Grass Preserve, which encompasses 23 acres and is one of the few unplowed prairie areas within Milwaukee County. Created in 2005 in tandem with a local developer, the southeastern Wisconsin preserve is open for viewing and educational use.
