The Project
This website is hosted and maintained by Rochester Ecology Partners as part of the Greater Rochester Environmental Community Analysis Project. The goal of this Hub is to understand, connect and advance the work of organizations that are dedicated to community and environmental well-being for all.
This website provides a living, growing database of organizations across the nine-county Greater Rochester Region that are doing this work, the results of our environmental community analysis, and stories of collaboration and connection. We intend that this resource will provide the information and inspiration needed to facilitate coming together and the growth in reach and impact of our regional environmental movement.
Ultimately, the entire project is intended to enable a more connected environmental movement locally, the application of resources in ways that lead to change for those that need it most, and a shared vision that has been developed and adopted by the community.
