1000 Friends of Wisconsin Mission Statement
1000 Friends of Wisconsin was created to protect and enhance Wisconsin’s urban and rural
landscapes by providing citizens with the inspiration, information and tools they need to
effectively participate in the decisions that have the greatest impact on community health: where
we live, work, learn, play and how we get from one place to another. We accomplish our work
through three major efforts:
(1) Promoting Implementation of Smart Growth
(2) Policy Development and Advocacy
(3) Research and Information Sharing
Our work focuses on helping communities make the connection between our everyday land use
and transportation decisions and our state's economic, environmental and cultural health.
