About
Through our on-the-ground projects, volunteer events and trainings Great River Greening works with partners and local communities to restore and maintain the biodiversity and ecological health of our lands and waters.

Our objectives: - Empowering youth leaders: Great River Greening trains young people of all backgrounds, exposing them to conservation careers and volunteerism. - Breathing new life into waterways: Great River Greening and our watershed partners complete projects to improve, rehabilitate, and better manage our degraded river shorelines and lakeshores. - Bringing back healthy urban and community forests: Volunteers and greening ecologists plant native trees and shrubs and forbs and grasses for a range of benefits, including better soils, water, and air quality. - Restoring wildlife habitats: Great River Greening volunteers have provided protection for hundreds of native species, including threatened and endangered flora and fauna.
