Trees and Community Involvement

Email received 2.11.10

Many of you joined the city for last year’s community visioning process, and we hope you’re as excited as we are to see your input making a difference in Oshkosh!

Thanks to your feedback, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation just announced a campaign to plant 1,000 trees in Oshkosh this April and May. The majority of visioning survey respondents indicated that they wanted to see a community with more trees, wider terraces and unified streetscapes. Now, we’re making that happen!

With support from local donors and volunteers, the Community Foundation hopes to raise $500,000 for beautification projects like trees, flower beds and signage. We’re already off to a great start, with a $150,000 matching grant from the John E. Kuenzl Foundation.

Please join us for a community information session to learn more about how you can get involved, donate and volunteer.
