Soak It Up! Update

​We are pleased to be providing an update on our very own Soak It Up! project. In partnership with the La Crosse Urban Stormwater Group, we became the first to complete this storm water management project in 2016. The additions included a large rain barrel, several kinds of pervious pavement, regrading so polluted storm water no longer flows directly into a stream, rain gardens and more. Our landscape is now successfully reducing runoff on and around our property. Viterbo University students designed the informational sign that is up in front of the project informing readers of the problems associated with storm water pollution. The La Crosse Urban Stormwater Group’s commitment to educating the community so we can all make it a healthier and safer place to live makes them a great partner for us!

​This joint activity fits very well with the environmental considerations Habitat for Humanity has in place. Our salvage program diverts tons of reusable waste from the landfill each year. Our ReStore encourages reusing gently used household items rather than unnecessarily buying new. Our home construction practices and materials are efficient. On a smaller scale, we’re sure to recycle in our office and break room.
