Walnut Way

Walnut Way 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.

Happy Earth Day!

Won't you stop to smell the flowers? Not only do we appreciate the nature we walk amongst it- side by side, but we acknowledge the effort we all need to put in to till the land and preserve it for future generations.

The tough conversations are the one we often avoid because of the heaviness of what's been unsaid.

Walnut Way sought to facilitate those conversations so it can be thoroughly understood and to heal those complex feelings around racism.

When attending the Internalized Racism talks, Lindsay Heights residents were introduced to the concept of intersectional bigotry and systemic handicaps that were embedded in the subconscious minds of black and brown people.

These engaging and familiar connections traced back to the paths of their own lives and were met with understanding and realizations that confirmed their unknown hardships which linked them to the present of the explanations.

Just so you know we're still demanding for the same thing:

-Give the people a break from never ending rate hikes.
-Commit to 2 percent of their income to contribute to their energy bills.
-Start using clean renewable energy to generate power for the state, to reduce the effects of climate change and limit the adverse health effects on the people who pay to keep their lights on.

We will still fight for what is right, and we will prevail!

As Milwaukee faces the impact of recent flooding, solutions rooted in community and sustainability matter more than ever.

Walnut Way’s Blue Skies Landscaping crew is on the ground doing critical work...maintaining bioswales, installing permeable pavement, and advancing green infrastructure that helps manage stormwater and reduce flooding across our city. These efforts don’t just respond to today’s challenges....they build long-term resilience for our neighborhoods.

Investing in nature-based solutions means cleaner water, safer streets, and stronger communities.
