The Growing Healthy Soil for Healthy Communities (GHSHC) program at Walnut Way is working with partners: Sixteenth Street Community Health Center, Medical College of Wisconsin and Symbiont,  to study the soil in our neighborhood to see if lead is present.  Lead in the soil can possibly harm kids under age 6 playing in the yard or eating vegetables grown in contaminated soil.  

Spread the word!  Walnut Way Conservation Corporation is hosting our 13th Annual Neighborhood Lift Up event on Saturday April 21st from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.  About 150 Walnut Way neighbors and friends will gather at the Walnut Way Center (2240 N. 17th Street) to shake off the winter blues and reconnect with each other as we spruce up our neighborhood and begin planting the Walnut Way gardens.
