Environmental concerns - groundwater

 Amy grew up in, and now lives in Holmen with her husband and three kids. Her summers are spent on sandbars and in campgrounds and her winters are spent on the sledding hills. Amy has been working in sustainability since 2014, and recently became the Sustainability Director for Habitat for Humanity La Crosse. Her work allows her to manage local and regional conservation projects and groups who share similar goals of creating healthier waterways.

The focus will be on  2 specific projects she and Habitat are working on, ReNew the Block and La Crosse Area Waters.

1. La Crosse Area Waters is a group of 10 local municipalities, whose mission is to inform community members about runoff pollution. They are an advocate for local projects that reduce runoff and preserve the health and beauty of local waterways. They educate our community about these projects, collaborate to facilitate more action, and recognize people who are making a difference.
2. Habitat's new initiative, ReNew the Block, is designed to tightly focus home repairs, stormwater mitigation, and urban agriculture in a single city block for maximized economic, visual, and revitalization impacts. This project is unique and the first of its kind and would put the City of La Crosse in the National spotlight of sustainable communities.
