A.W. Oakes & Son Helps Milwaukee County Zoo Unleash Its Wild Side

A.W. Oakes & Son is proud to announce a collaborative effort with the Milwaukee County Zoo that has transformed a construction project into a wildlife sanctuary enhancement. While excavating for the Lovers Lane reconstruction project in Franklin, WI, in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, our team unearthed a remarkable discovery: a collection of massive boulders hidden beneath the surface.

Recognizing the unique opportunity to contribute to the local ecosystem, A.W. Oakes & Son and Oakes Transport joined forces with the Milwaukee County Zoo to donate these natural treasures. The boulders will be meticulously cleaned and carefully integrated into the zoo's animal enclosures, providing stimulating and enriching environments for its diverse residents.

This extraordinary partnership exemplifies A.W. Oakes & Son's unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. By repurposing these boulders, we are not only enhancing the quality of life for the zoo animals but also fostering a deeper connection between people and nature. We believe that creating thriving ecosystems is essential for the well-being of both wildlife and the communities we call home.

A.W. Oakes & Son extends its sincere gratitude to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for their collaboration on the Lovers Lane reconstruction project. We are also immensely grateful to the Milwaukee County Zoo for embracing this unique opportunity to enhance their animal habitats. Together, we are creating a lasting legacy for both wildlife and the community.
