It's that time of year again, where we bid a tearful goodbye to our Green Team Members for the Spring. We want to thank them for all the work and dedication they put into learning about climate issues affecting our city and working to improve their neighborhoods. And in the world of younger gen. 👋🌷👦🥹 💚💪👥🫰 (Please don't come for me, I tried 😅)

Good Morning from Hillside Mini-Farm! In the last 2 weeks our little farm has started to bloom full force. We were even able to offer our community members native flower arrangements to give their mothers. Also, we want to give a big thank you to staff for coming out to help us keep our Bioswale healthy and growing.

Green Team had an amazing time with learning how to bird and identify different bird calls. In our birding session we were able to see and hear over 20 different species of birds! Brown-headed cowbirds, Canada geese , Osprey, and Red-bellied Woodpeckers were some of the birds we had the wonderful chance to experience through our binoculars!

It’s a big weekend for getting outside and giving back 🌱

We know there are a lot of great volunteer opportunities happening across Richmond right now, and we’re grateful to be part of that energy.

If you’re looking for a way to plug in, join us for the Cool the City: Community Tree Planting in Highland Grove. We’ll be planting trees in a new affordable housing community to help reduce heat, improve air quality, and build a greener neighborhood together. No experience needed.

We’re also hosting our Spring Planting Day at Hillside Farm this weekend, so however you choose to show up, we hope you’ll spend some time outdoors supporting community-led work.

📍 Highland Grove (Althea & Juniper)
🗓 Friday 10am–1pm or Saturday 9am–12pm

Richmond deserves environmental careers that are accessible, paid, and rooted in community.

We’re seeking professional training partners to help deliver certified environmental workforce training for emerging adults (ages 18–24) through our EPA-supported Brownfields Job Training Program.

This opportunity will help prepare young adults from communities disproportionately impacted by environmental inequities for careers in:

✔ Hazardous waste operations (HAZWOPER certified)
✔ Green infrastructure installation & maintenance
✔ Stormwater and remediation fields

If you’re a qualified training provider ready to invest in the next generation of environmental leaders, we want to hear from you.

📅 Proposals due March 20
