Projects

We're a community partner in the NSF GEOPaths Community Air Research Experience (CARE) at Loyola University Chicago.

A program to transform public parkways into natural spaces for pollinator forage and habitat, including efforts to remediate soil and capture carbon.

In collaboration with business stakeholders, we're growing native plants in dozens of planters along Clark St. in the Andersonville area, and embedding educational resources into the plantings.

Working towards a litter-free neighborhood through collective action! Once a month, volunteers clean up their blocks or businesses, individually or as part of a team.

A grassroots outreach and advocacy campaign to encourage local businesses to reduce waste from plastics and disposables. Anyone can participate!

In collaboration with the Peterson Garden Project, we're helping to organize and maintain the garden — and developing plots and programming of our own!

Join us in restoring and maintaining the natural areas at Osterman Beach.

A program offering grants and mentorship for developing "corner gardens", to beautify the neighborhood, encourage community action, and make space for native flora and fauna.

As recipients of a tree planting grant, we're collecting candidate locations for new trees to be planted in the neighborhood. Request one for your greenway!

Annual event to encourage composting rather than trashing of Halloween pumpkins through an easy and fun action: "smashing"!
