Since 1986, Greenwich Green & Clean has worked to clean and beautify all the public spaces in which residents live and work. The group's main office is at the Pemberwick Community Center. The nonprofit environmental group is made up of volunteers, local garden clubs and neighborhood associations, schools, scouts, civic groups and private citizens — all of whom work together on a number of environmental projects throughout the year. Greenwich Green & Clean is responsible for potting and maintaining the town's hanging baskets, landscaping and maintaining town highway exits, monitoring the annual town-wide clean ups in May and October and overseeing recycling programs. Volunteers are needed to plant and maintain more than 1,400 acres of green space in Greenwich. Student volunteers eager to lend a hand during the summer months are welcome.
