About this organization
Mission
The mission of URI is to foster environmental stewardship and human development by promoting citizen participation and community action through education, institutional cooperation and professional guidance.
About
URI's Greenspace program continues to empower volunteers to make tangible improvements to the landscape of their communities. The three programmatic goals - community building, environmental restoration, and stewardship - have not changed since the program's inception in 1995. Over the last few years, the partnership for the Greenspace program has expanded beyond city agencies and the CFGNH to also include USFWS, Audubon CT, and Common Ground High School on sites that are specifically focused on creating bird habitat. These sites tend to be in parks, and included 8 of the Greenspace groups. We carefully measure the following: community building through the number of program events (350) led by the community groups, the hours of community service (3,944), and the number of individuals (770) participating in the program. Environmental restoration is measured by the number of trees (46), shrubs (153) and perennials (161) planted, and other inputs such as compost and mulch. We measure successful stewardship by monitoring the one-year survival rate for trees planted. The newly planted trees, shrubs, perennials in streetscapes, front yards, parks and pocket parks (former vacant lots) make a huge visible impact on communities and the people that inhabit them.
