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. 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. Alewife advocacy and restoration work became a core part of Green Cambridge’s mission after absorbing the Friends of Alewife Reservation (FAR) in 2019.
