Local Organizations

Rescue a Reef is the University of Miami’s coral restoration program, designed to support research and revival activities to save local staghorn coral populations on Miami’s coral reefs. Rescue A Reef expeditions are led by UM researchers, and provide a unique, hands-on education experience for recreational divers and snorkelers to participate in coral restoration efforts.

Our mission is to educate and engage the local community, increase scientific literacy in coastal and coral reef conservation, and foster ocean stewardship.

Our mission at the Denver Sustainability Food Policy Council is to influence the City of Denver to enact policies that foster food security for all community members and promote a healthy, equitable, and sustainable local food system.

Our current working groups are involved in City of Denver policy reforms to expand access to mobile markets, increase food rescue and composting at city facilities, adopt a healthy, local standard for city food purchases, and more. In short, we look at the food system in our area and then make recommendations on how to improve that food system.

We need a San Diego Green New Deal!

Our region is not on track to meet climate targets that represent the minimum action needed to secure a safe and livable future.

Recent climate science reports, including the landmark United Nations IPCC Report, say we need to go beyond what local and state laws commit us to — we need a plan to reach net-zero emissions.

At Urban Patchwork, we work with thousands of neighbors throughout Austin to map edible trees and turn under-utilized private and public spaces into productive urban gardens and farms, educational spaces, and activity centers.

Through this effort, we strengthen and beautify our communities, expand our food system’s reach, and reduce the environmental impact of landscaping and agriculture.

Keep Austin Beautiful, an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, provides resources and education to help citizens build a more beautiful and earth-friendly Austin. We welcome hearing from anyone, or any group, who shares these interests.

We do ecological clean-ups and restoration, street and creek adoptions, beautification and recycling resources, and youth engagement and education.
