Brown County works to improve access to safe, high quality physical environments. This is an effort that includes Brown County as a whole, so collaborative leadership and decision making among leaders in the community will be needed to address and improve environmental quality and physical environments for all.

Working to make sure that Brown County's physical environments are safe is important for all Brown County community members -- no matter their age, socioeconomic status, race, or gender. Air quality¹, water quality, and the built environment are linked to health impacts like asthma¹, food availability, and childhood lead exposure. 

To take on the task of improving environmental quality and physical environments for all Brown County, a group of environmental leaders in the community from various backgrounds and industries will come together to work on this important topic together.

To learn more or join in these efforts, please contact Brown County Public Health at bc_health@browncountywi.gov or call (920) 448-6400.
