Walnut Way
Share
Walnut Way Conservation Corp. (Walnut Way) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit neighborhood organization founded by residents in 2000.
The center is located at 2240 N 17th Street in a carefully renovated, formally infamous drug house. Understanding the importance of valuing place, residents restored this 1910 house, slated for demolition into an active Center where youth, families, elders, homeowners and renters participate in community development.

Stop We Energies - Say No to $1.2 Billion Methane Gas Plants!
Tuesday, March 25th @ 1PM | Oak Creek Community Center Ballroom
Purpose: We need your input! We Energies proposes building methane gas plants as part of the Oak Creek Power Plant's transition. These plans threaten to harm our health, environment, and raise our utility bills. Join us to speak out against this proposal!
"There's nothing natural about natural gas!"
Burning coal and natural gas isn't as 'clean' as we think. They're still fossil fuels with harmful effects on our health and the environment. 🌍
💡🌍 It's time to use our collective voice to demand change! Together, we can push WE Energies to invest in alternative energy sources for a sustainable future. Let’s make our community heard and prioritize clean energy solutions! 🔊✊ "
