How Can I Be Part of the Garden?

Planting 2008

The UW Oshkosh Community Garden is a place for students and other members of the UW Oshkosh and broader community to connect to a piece of the earth.

You can be a part of this community in several ways:

1. Join the UW Oshkosh Community Garden Club. We meet regularly to discuss plans, learn about garden, and make decisions. Check out the Web site of the club and contact Damion Drover at gardens@uwosh.edu.

2. Help out on special workdays. If you don't particularly come to our meetings, but would like help out, sign up for our email list to get our notices. Send an email letting us know you are up helping out: gardens@uwosh.edu.

3. Come to our events. In addition to workdays, we will have events on campus about gardens, food, and community. Send an email to gardens@uwosh.edu and ask to be part of our email list.

4. Tell others about the garden and the club and get them to join.

5. Grow your own. Have a little garden space of your own? Or does your dorm room have space for a little planter to grow a couple of plants? Be part of the Earth's creativity.

Bike and Pedestrian Survey

The City of Oshkosh is updating its Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan and they are looking for public input from people who live, work, study, or recreate in Oshkosh. They have developed a website that has links to an online survey:

pedestrian_bicycle_plan

Even if you do not currently use a bike or walk to campus, completing the survey will help the city learn why you do not, or how they might improve city infrastructure.

Most of us use city facilities every day: sidewalks along streets carrying automobiles through campus are built by the city, to their current standards. The last public meeting was in August, so student and staff input was not representative of UW Oshkosh pedestrians and bicyclists. So please consider giving the city some feedback from the campus community.
