Featured Program

Urban Ecology Institute

For nearly ten years, the Urban Ecology Institute and its community and educational partners have been improving the health of urban ecosystems through environmental education, action, and advocacy programs. Our Education Program Division serves students grades 2-12, teachers, and youth development professionals throughout the state and region. We provide scientific, instructional, and technological training and tools in urban ecology field studies and youth development, helping students become socially and ecologically engaged and prepared to succeed in a sustainable economy. Our Sustainable Cities Division partners with community organizations, local and state government agencies, scientists and public policy experts to transform neglected urban lands and restore the urban forest to create safe, ecologically healthy neighborhoods.

Together, these programs connect UEI with more than 500 individual volunteers each year, involving community leaders in neighborhood planting projects, working with environmental youth crews, urban forest inventories, and many other groups and activities. Partnership is at the core of UEI's theory of change and critical to our success. In Boston, UEI has long-standing partnerships with the Boston Public Schools and community educational organizations such as Boston After School and Beyond. UEI has helped create networks focused on urban forestry (Boston's Urban Forest Coalition), neighborhood sustainability (Sustainable Neighborhood Network), and environmental careers (the Environmental Network).
