OUR VISION
We strive to make our city a vibrant and biodiverse community where citizens can forge deeper connections with their environment by actively engaging in tree planting, food cultivation, waste reduction, litter cleanups, and environmental stewardship. At the heart of our mission lies the goal to reignite both individual and collective bonds with nature, fostering a deeper appreciation and commitment to the well-being of our surroundings.

Community Greening & Environmental Enhancement: Improving the visual and environmental aspects of our communities through programs that beautifully and naturally restore our environment including community gardens, vacant lot restoration, highway and waterway enhancement, and native plantings.
Healthy Lifestyle: Encouraging healthy living through the cultivation of community gardens, local food choices, healthy food preparation, and improving access to local fruits & vegetables through our Mobile Market.
