A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
UW Oshkosh serves the community and surrounding region through a multitude of programs, services and partnerships. UW Oshkosh students contribute $2.5 million annually to charity and an estimated 52,000 hours of volunteer time, valued at more than $3 million.
In 2010, the University partnered with the City of Oshkosh to help develop a City Sustainability Plan, Bicycle and Pedestrian Circulation Plan.
UW Oshkosh partnered with the City of Oshkosh and the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation to plant trees under the Taking Root Fund, and City Forester was instrumental in helping the university attain Tree City USA designation from the Arbor Day Foundation.
The first commercial scale dry anaerobic biodigester in the America's was built by UW Oshkosh with several strong partnerships with the City of Oshkosh. This renewable energy facility will use biomass donated from the City's yard waste collection site as feedstock, and the City's wastewater treatment plant will donate its excess biogas via a pipeline built by UW Oshkosh.
