Downtown Oshkosh as it stands now,
with little plant life to be seen.
The addition of trees, flowers and shrubs helps transform
Downtown Oshkosh, giving it a fresh, vibrant appeal.
Even residential neighborhoods with existing mature
trees can be improved.
Planting trees on the boulevards, burying power lines and
adding street lamps improves safety and aesthetics.
Community Pride
First impressions are everything. When
our community looks good, it attracts
new residents, drives business traffic and
boosts tourism.
In 2009, the majority of participants in
the Oshkosh Vision Survey indicated that
they wanted to see a community with
more trees, wider terraces and unified
streetscapes. Such minor improvements
can make a significant difference in the
perception of our community.
Donate Now
With your support, we can raise the
$500,000 necessary to transform our
community. Trees, signage and other
beautification efforts will make an
immediate and noticeable impact.
Contributions are fully tax deductible, and
will help support beautification initiatives
throughout Oshkosh.
You can help our community take root.
Please donate today.

Beautification Benefits
Trees and plants renew the look and feel
of our community. Greenery creates a
pleasant environment for residents and
visitors alike, with such benefits as:
• Improved aesthetics
• Energy conservation
• Storm water retention
• Noise buffering
• Cleaner air
• Increased property values
