Habitat for Humanity La Crosse wants to Renew the Block with sustainable space for all
LA CROSSE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – Habitat for Humanity is transforming part of a northside La Crosse neighborhood into a sustainable space for all with Renew the Block. During this initiative, Habitat is planting trees, cleaning up landscaping, adding an outdoor classroom, and a lot more. The hope is to bring initiatives such as stormwater mitigation and urban agriculture to the area around Logan Middle School.
Work on the project began last year. However, Habitat for Humanity is seeking help from the community to complete the work with a 'Pave the Way' fundraiser. Habitat for Humanity Sustainability Director Amy Smith explained, 'This 'Pave the Way' fundraiser is an amazing way for the community to leave their mark on this project. You can engrave your name on a paver, write a nice message, honor a loved one, whatever it is that you want to do. You have an opportunity to be part of this project, too.'
Habitat for Humanity has a goal of $60,000 to complete the initiative. The pavers are designed to help prevent over 500,000 gallons of stormwater runoff per year. Habitat is projecting that the pavers will be placed at the front of the main entrance to Logan Middle School sometime in late 2026
