Forests & Wilds
For Everyone
Using all 4,000 acres of Cambridge as our classroom, we connect people to the importance of trees 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 through our organization, the broader environmental movement we participate in, and the city of Cambridge.
Sustainability Begins with Equity and Justice #BlackLivesMatter
Our Mission
Green Cambridge works to create a more sustainable city and to protect the environment for the health and safety of all. Our programs empower young people to become environmental leaders, restoring local ecosystems and advocating for a greener, healthier Cambridge. We offer paid internships to build career pipelines that cover environmental science and justice, ecology, policy, community engagement, wetland restoration, arboriculture, and urban agriculture. Founded in 2004 at a kitchen table by a group of passionate environmentalists, we advocate for a more socially connected and equitable present that works toward a climate-resilient future.
