There is still time to install or expand your native gardens! Planting native trees, shrubs, and perennials in the fall gives the roots time to establish before going dormant in winter. You will not see much growth above ground, but new roots developing now will provide a quick start for your plants next spring. Next summer, these fall-planted gardens will grow quickly and look similar to long-established plantings.

Order your plants today through the online sale with Johnson's Nursery, and 15% will be donated back to the Conservation Corps!

Online orders close on October 2nd, and orders can be picked up at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary on October 10th.

And just like that, another program year comes to an end!

A huge thank you to our incredible crew members for showing up, stepping up, and putting in the work to make a difference in our community. From responding to natural disasters to surveying for frog and toad species, our crews were busy all year long, serving a collective 𝟮𝟮,𝟮𝟲𝟮 hours to improve our local parks, trails, and greenways.

Here's a look at what they accomplished:

• 𝟮𝟬𝟬+ 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 across our parks, with areas treated multiple times throughout the year for a total of 𝟰𝟭𝟯 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. That's the equivalent of 𝟯𝟭𝟯 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀!
• 𝟴𝟮,𝟰𝟬𝟬 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗿𝘂𝗯𝘀 cut and 𝟭𝟲,𝟭𝟱𝟬 𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗻𝘀 of non-native vegetation removed
• 𝟴,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 to complete the Pollinator Corridor and 𝟰,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 given to Green Bay residents and local schools
• 𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗻𝘀 of biochar produced

And those numbers only tell part of the story. Behind every acre restored, invasive species removed, native plant planted, and hour served are members learning new skills, tackling tough challenges, and making our community a better place.

𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘂𝘀?

Our fall crew starts making a difference again this September. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!

Where is your path taking you?

Maybe it’s time to take the path less traveled. Yes, sometimes that means finding your way through a wall of phragmites.

If you’re ready to get outside, learn new skills, work alongside an awesome crew, and make a difference in your community, there’s a place for you with the Green Bay Conservation Corps!

Our fall AmeriCorps crew is forming now, and applications are closing soon! Apply online today.

Our members continue showing up for communities impacted by disaster, tackling difficult cleanup work and helping neighbors take the next steps toward recovery.

If this year has taught us anything, it's that resilience starts with community.

“𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚.”

That’s the spirit of AmeriCorps.
