Description
Green Cambridge is the only sustainability organization focused entirely on Cambridge, MA. We work in the areas of food, energy, and trees. We are grounded in permaculture principles. We envision a more socially connected and equitable present that works toward a climate resilient future.

We prize the value of all trees growing in the city, no matter whose property they grow from.
