Group Vision
Group Vision
We envision a Boston that utilizes its natural processes and ecosystems to strengthen our city's sustainability and resilience. Through supporting strategic river management, wetlands protection, urban foresting, and expansion of urban green spaces, we advocate for equitable investment and preservation in green infrastructure for the Greater Boston Area. We hope to increase public awareness of these strategies and their social and economical benefits to ensure a safe, livable, and enjoyable environment for all Boston residents for generations to come.
