Austin Environmental Democrats is an advocacy group that works to educate our members, inform our elected officials, and create a forum where Austinites can come together and learn more about the issues impacting our surroundings.

We pass resolutions and advocate for them, endorse primary candidates who are truly green, and work together as volunteers for important green projects around Austin.

You can get involved in our decision-making by becoming a member.

We meet the first Friday of each month at noon at El Mercado on South First Street.

We are a water resources management utility that combines science and nature to clean water and return it to the Tualatin River, so it can be used again.

Our job is to maintain and improve the infrastructure, innovation and efficiency of our water resources to ensure quality of life throughout the Tualatin River Watershed.

We work in partnership with others to safeguard the river’s health and vitality, ensure the economic success of our region, and protect public health for more than 570,000 residents and businesses in urban Washington County.

Chicago Bird Collision Monitors (CBCM) is an all-volunteer conservation project dedicated to the protection of migratory birds through rescue, advocacy and outreach. We work to protect and recover migratory birds that are killed and injured in the downtown Chicago area each spring and fall migration—and we need your help.

Participate in bird rescue, bird transport, public outreach, or fundraising. Previous experience with birds is not required. All that you need is a sincere desire to help birds that have come into harm's way.

For 25 years, Southeast Environmental Task Force has been dedicated to promoting environmental education, pollution prevention, and sustainable development in the southeast side and south suburbs of Chicago.

We are involved in monitoring and restoring our natural areas.

As Waterway Helpers, we are involved in the waterways that flow into Lake Michigan.

Urban GreenWorks (UGW) is a Miami-based not-for-profit organization and a fund of the Miami Foundation. We exist to restore the economic, physical, and social health of underserved communities.

Our focus is community food security and environmental restoration. UGW creates programs for communities plagued by poor access to fresh food, blighted and neglected open space, low urban tree cover, and an under-employed population of young adults.

The mission of the Greenway Foundation is to advance the interests of the South Platte River and surrounding tributaries as a unique environmental, cultural, scientific and historical amenity that uniquely links Denver’s past and future.

Since 1974, The Greenway Foundation has led efforts to:

We have tasked ourselves with the protection, enhancement, restoration, and – in urban areas – expansion of our shared natural environment.

This includes public advocacy at all governmental levels, outreach to all environmental organizations, public education at community events, and advocacy for and supervision of State of California mandated public coastal access and easements.

Increasingly, Mother Nature needs representation. Someone has to stand up for the environment when no one else will.
