Green Organizations

At Urban Patchwork, we work with thousands of neighbors throughout Austin to map edible trees and turn under-utilized private and public spaces into productive urban gardens and farms, educational spaces, and activity centers.

Through this effort, we strengthen and beautify our communities, expand our food system’s reach, and reduce the environmental impact of landscaping and agriculture.

Portland Harbor Community Coalition is a group of individuals and organizations representing the most-impacted groups (Native Americans, African-Americans, immigrants and houseless) in the billion dollar Willamette River Superfund cleanup.

Founded in 2012, our Mission is to raise the voices and build the capacities of local environmental justice communities, ensuring that these communities are able to influence the final outcome of the Portland Harbor Superfund cleanup process.

WISE is a group devoted to planning and facilitating sport, outdoor and creative networking activities for Portland-area women who work in the sustainability and environmental fields.

We plan fun and adventurous activities like whitewater rafting, wine tasting, cooking, snowshoeing…think Portland’s 21st century version of the golf course, but for women.

NeighborSpace is the only nonprofit urban land trust in Chicago that preserves and sustains gardens on behalf of community groups.
