East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commission
There are a number of different volunteer opportunities that
the UWO students could get involved in ranging from volunteering some hours
with the Clean Boats Clean Waters program to participating in aquatic invasive species
lake monitoring within the Winnebago Pool lakes. We can also be creative
and find ways to volunteer like developing composting sites for the aquatic
vegetation, zebra mussel removal/reuse, or educational outreach opportunities
where the Oshkosh students help man booths for teaching conference participants
about AIS.
