Welcome to Regreen Springfield!
Through our tree advocacy efforts, ReGreen Springfield has collaborated with businesses, community organizations, educational partners and government agencies to promote the reforestation of Springfield, improve growing conditions for trees and engage new allies in tree care and monitoring, education and citizen science. We realize that the strength of our city is found in the neighborhoods. With this as the foundation for our work, we have embarked on an effort to ‘regreen’ the city… one tree at at time.
Please join Regreen Springfield in this reforestation effort by planting a tree in your own yard, helping to plant trees along our streets and in our parks, or donate your time or funds to neighborhood regreening efforts. With your help, Springfield’s urban forest will be restored.
We’re thrilled to share that, thanks to a fantastic collaboration with interns from the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission, Springfield City Forestry, and our Green Corps and Green Skills Programs, we’ve transformed Glendale Terrace in the Historic Forest Park Neighborhood into a vibrant, green oasis!
Created a new pollinator garden that’s a haven for bees, butterflies, and birds. This project has truly enhanced our neighborhood, adding beauty and joy to our community. A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life;your dedication and hard work made all the difference!
We also want to acknowledge the Springfield Community Preservation Committee and the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission for their generous funding and continued support of our city’s green spaces.
