Farms. Forests. Wilds.
For Everyone.
Using urban farms, urban forests, and our urban wilds, we connect people to the beauty of trees, the magic of growing, and the understanding of habitats for more equitable neighborhoods and connected communities.
We recognize the need to be actively anti-racist and pledge to work to dismantle racism within our organization, the broader environmental movement we participate in, and the city of Cambridge.

Our Mission
Green Cambridge works to create a more sustainable city and to protect the environment for the health and safety of all. We educate and engage residents toward everyday resiliency by connecting the importance of urban agriculture, the urban tree canopy, and urban wildlife. We use these public spaces to provide place-based educational discovery opportunities for all ages and backgrounds. Building off of permaculture principles, they envision a more socially connected and equitable present that works toward a climate-resilient future.
Want a Tree in Your Yard?
Canopy Crew is a paid green jobs and environmental careers discovery program specializing in urban forestry and environmental justice for Cambridge high school students aged 16-18.
Crew members explore how trees impact equity and justice issues in Cambridge and explore career opportunities in urban forestry, environmental science, and community outreach while preserving and expanding our shared tree canopy. Using the Urban Forest Master Plan as a guide, Crew members become ambassadors to the community for the urban forest while taking direct hands-on action to mitigate the generational crisis of canopy loss and climate change by planting trees on private property in the city.
If you live in Cambridge, you may be eligible to receive a free tree planting on your property!
