green vision project workshops

Green Vision WorkshopIn 2005, Friends of Harbors, Beaches and Parks embarked on an ambitious mission to put together a coalition. Our coalition has united over 80 conservation and community organizations in the County. All of these organizations have their own mission from cultural resource protection to improving water quality to connecting faith and the environment. All of these groups eventually came together to support what is known as the Green Vision Project.

To learn about issues, tools and strategies the Green Vision Project team hosts workshops. Topics range from understanding climate change to finding conservation funding sources and creating healthy communities.
