Neighborhood Greening

Neighborhood Greening: "Harnessing the spirit of residents, schools, places of worship, organizations, and businesses to create a greener community."

Neighborhood Greening, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to Community Environmental Education and Stewardship. Neighborhood Greening aims to harness the spirit of community to make small but impactful efforts that will make a greener neighborhood for both humans and wildlife. How we roll up our communal sleeves can be used as a model for other neighborhoods across the region.

One of Neighborhood Greening's educational initiatives is the publication of the e-journal The Butterfly Effect which is published twice each year. In the Journal, we spotlight our successes, examine small but impactful changes we can make to become better stewards of our local environment, tell our “green” stories, and show how environmental stewardship directly enriches our community, families, and lives.

Through our "42 Ways to Green Your Neighborhood," link, individuals can learn how to roll up their sleeves and get started in their own yards and communities. Keep up-to-date with "green" stories, tips, information, and resources year round by tuning-in to Neighborhood Greening's Facebook page.
