Sustainable Communities in Winnebago County
Between 2007 and 2008, four communities in Winnebago County made a formal committment to move towards becoming a sustainable community. Each community passed resolutions to adopt either the Natural Step Framework, the Mayor's Climate Change Agreement, or both. Each community has its own sustainability board, which is working with staff to explore ideas, identify projects, and discuss what their community would look like if it were truly sustainable. Each link below will allow you to explore the groups' activities, successes, focus, and contact information. For more information on sustainable communities, you may also contact Catherine Neiswender at cneiswender@co.winnebago.wi.us.
