GREENING SHOREWOOD, Shorewood, WI

The vision of GREENING SHOREWOOD is to raise awareness of and advocacy for a greener future in our community located between the shores of Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee River. GREENING SHOREWOOD intends to ingrain sustainable attitudes and habits in the community by assessing and improving the community's environmental literacy of three ecological pillars- energy, water, and food. GREENING SHOREWOOD aims to network environmental place based active learning across the curriculum, make Shorewood schools and campuses more energy efficient, enhance and create green spaces that manage rainwater collection, produce food and restore native vegetation and wildlife habitation, and ultimately create a progressive image for Shorewood which best supports the health of its residents and its economy.
