At Habitat, we want to create vibrant, healthy communities that people want to live in. We believe that caring for the environment goes hand-in-hand with building quality housing. We envision a Driftless Region with healthy land, clean water, and resilient neighborhoods that can prosper for generations to come.
Welcome to the Sustainability Department!
In early 2023, we announced the creation of the Sustainability Department. Why now? For many years, we've chosen to reduce waste and energy use across our programs. The new department is a firm commitment to sustainability - both in our community programs AND our internal business practices. Explore our current projects and partnerships below.
Sustainability at Habitat
In all areas of our work, we aim to reduce our waste, choose renewable energy, and lower our carbon footprint. Here's how we're doing it:
- Our ReClaim program salvages usable materials that would otherwise be thrown away
- The ReStore offers low-cost, secondhand tools and materials, reducing our need for purchasing new products
- ReNew the Block brings a range of stormwater mitigation and landscaping projects to a single city block
- Our La Crosse ReStore and office building features a solar array and water-friendly landscaping
NewGround + Habitat
Habitat is the parent organization of NewGround, a partner for leaders who are restoring our land, water, and communities. Services include outreach and education projects, long-term communications plans, brand strategy, websites, and digital and print promotion.
Compelling communications and well-told stories have often been missing links in environmental conservation and neighborhood revitalization work. NewGround fills that void, putting science, facts, stories, and opportunities where they do the most good.
Our current partners are working on the most critical environmental issues facing the Driftless Region.
