Local Organizations

TREEmendous Miami is a group of dedicated citizens making Miami-Dade a greener, cooler, healthier and more enjoyable environment in which to live.

We are volunteers united to build community pride by planting, promoting and preserving trees in Miami-Dade County. In our first 10 years, TREEmendous Miami is proud to have planted nearly 10,000 trees and enlisted the help of more than 6,000 volunteers from the community.

These volunteers include thousands of young people earning community service hours while learning about the importance of trees in our environment.

South Florida Wildlands Association (SFWA) is a not-for-profit organization founded in March 2010 to protect the unparalleled beauty and biodiversity of the greater Everglades, which is of one of our planet's most unique natural areas.

At The Urban Farm at Stapleton, there is a little bit of “country” for every age and inclination. We inspire excitement for learning through practical work experience in a farm setting that fosters respect, responsibility, curiosity, caring and grit in kids and parents alike.

Where else can a kid learn firsthand about sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry or how to spin wool without leaving the comforts of Denver? How about experiencing the connection of horse and rider or the warmth of a freshly-laid egg?

As seen in the San Diego Union-Tribune, May 21, 2021:

"A new county office will focus on areas of San Diego most affected by pollution, health disparities and the effects of climate change," writes Deborah Sullivan Brennan. The office will "address high pollution areas and make sure that efforts to address climate change don’t come at the expense of poor and minority communities."

PLANT. GROW. LEARN.

Our mission at TreeFolks is to empower Central Texans to build stronger and greener communities by planting and caring for trees.

We’ve already engaged thousands of volunteers to plant more than 2.5 million trees in Central Texas, and we invite you to join us in creating a healthier environment and enhancing our quality of life.

COMMUNITY BUILDING
TreeFolks engages thousands of volunteers and community groups to plant trees in public parks, preserves, and school yards.

The Multnomah County Office of Sustainability was established in 2010 to help plan, implement and coordinate the County’s environmental Sustainability Program.

Since that time, the Office of Sustainability has worked with the community and County departments to develop unique partnerships that help make Multnomah County a better place to live, work, and do business.

Gateway Green is one of Portland’s newest park acquisition - 25 acres of unused open space to be developed into a world-class recreation destination. Located in East Portland on the site of the former Rocky Butte Jail, Gateway Green will cultivate social equity, demonstrate innovative urban habitat restoration and energize local economic development.

Reclaiming Land, Raising Future Farmers

We work with our community partners to secure land in the city for growing food. Imagine the positive impact of converting abandoned city lots into thriving green farms. That is City Grower’s vision.

City Growers is contributing to the new green economy in communities where economic revitalization is needed most. In the coming years, we will create a checkerboard of productive green space in Boston’s inner city where local growing talent thrives.
