Taking Root II
Planting is underway for the Taking Root II campaign!
Over 150 donors came together to support the Taking Root II campaign to replace trees lost in Oshkosh.
To date, $300,000 has been raised towards a goal of $500,000.
$200k is needed to complete our goal to replace trees lost to the Emerald Ash Borer.
YOU CAN HELP MAKE OSHKOSH GREEN AGAIN.
WHAT IS THE NEED?
It is estimated that each tree will cost $400, including planting services. Plans are to plant and replace as many trees as funding will allow. There will be a variety of trees chosen for planting.
Among many benefits, trees reduce storm water runoff, enhance property values, improve health and well-being, provide aesthetic benefits, reduce air pollution, and provide wildlife habitat.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
The Oshkosh Area Community Foundation can accept gifts of cash or check, or you can make an online donation HERE. With your help, we can replace lost trees and help our canopy take root.
