Good morning! We are a newly formed grassroots groups of environmental experts & advocates who love cities, nature, & people. We want to build a fun & collaborative community of environmentalists who love trees and orcas just as much as they love busses, bike lanes, and walkable communities.

We'll be hosting transit-accessible urban nature exploration events to learn about nature in cities & what we can do to make them work together even better. We will also be advocating for urban policies that improve the lives of both wildlife & people in our cities, including a bolder Comp Plan.

We dream of cities full of people from all walks of life and backgrounds, living in quiet tree-lined ecodistricts within homes they can permanently afford. We dream of food, friends, and fun only ever being a short walk or bike ride away.

We dream of vibrant and diverse neighborhoods with pocket parks full of native plants, where neighbors meet up to forage for native berries or drink coffee from the local cafe under the shade of their favorite collective tree.

We dream of salmon, otters, and beavers swimming through our urban streams within restored floodplains and free public parks.

We dream of accessible trails winding along restored lakeshores and wetlands, teeming with waterfowl, and a frequent bus that drops you off right at the trailhead.

We dream of all city dwellers opening their windows to the sound of songbirds and scent of flowers and trees, rather than honking cars and exhaust fumes.

We're based on unceded Coast Salish land. We've built out an incredible steering committee of environmental organizers and professionals with expertise in salmon, habitat restoration, land conservation, labor organizing, land use, invertebrates (oft overlooked!), birds, plants, water, and climate.
