Reforestation Project

The "Reforestation Project", is a partnership effort between Menahsa High School's Youth Service-Learning class and the City of Menasha.

Menasha as many communities throughout the nation suffered from the blight of Dutch Elm disease wiping out these majestic Elms. Over the years Menasha has brought back many new species in an effort to regain and rebuild its natural environment. As a segment of this our efforts continue the reforestation of Menasha.

The project will engage about 30 students and numerous adult mentors in the reforestation project within a 5 block area of our community (Racine Street)as we plant 65 trees in an effort to revitalize our natural areas.
