GreenCare for Communities
Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Communities revitalizes community green spaces. In fact, we’ve restored nearly 50 million square feet of healthy turf since 2008. That’s enough oxygen for 20,000 families of four!
Do you know a sports field or a playground that can become a better place for children to play and explore? Or, how about an urban park or community lawn that can help residents exercise and connect?
