We connect people to the beauty of trees, the magic of growing, and the power of the sun for more equitable neighborhoods, connected communities, and individual empowerment.
Who We Are
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.
Our urban farm in East Cambridge connects communities to the growing cycle. We’ve helped lead Cambridge to toward NetZero energy goals ahead of other cities and towns. We prize the value of all trees growing in the city, no matter whose property they grow from. We support all work toward removing pavement and parking and increasing transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities for a cleaner, safer, and healthier future. We educate emerging generations on the urban flora and fauna found in our city through multi-generational celebration.

Cambridge Trees Advisory Committee
Green Cambridge launched the Cambridge Trees Advisory Committee in the spring of 2016 to take a long hard look at how to best reforest Cambridge. Currently our primary asks are to water the trees in this historic drought, and to set up a task force to formulate a plan for saving and growing our urban tree canopy.
