Green Organizations

The East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District (EMSWCD) is a unit of local government serving Northwest Oregon’s Multnomah County east of the Willamette River.

We work entirely on a voluntary, non-regulatory basis. All our work is geared toward keeping water clean, conserving water and keeping soil healthy.

Our 20-member staff provides a wide variety of programs and services to urban and rural residents and businesses.

The mission of The Institute for Applied Ecology is to conserve native species and habitats through restoration, research and education.

We provide a service to public and private agencies and individuals by developing and communicating information on ecosystems, species, and effective management strategies.

Restoration of habitats is a primary focus, and we conduct this work through partnerships with a diverse group of agencies, organizations and the private sector.

We link our community with habitats through education and outreach.

A Better City is a diverse group of business leaders united around a common goal — to enhance Boston and the region’s economic health, competitiveness, sustainability and quality of life.

"Miami-Dade Green" is part of the county's Office of Resilience, which collaborates both internally with County departments and externally with government agencies, universities, business groups, nonprofit organizations, and other stakeholders to effectively facilitate countywide resilience and environmental sustainability.

Our focus is to achieve aggressive water conservation, energy, climate change, and greenhouse gas reduction goals to sustain ourselves, our community and our natural resources.
