Mission

Our mission is to educate and empower our citizens to make GREEN energy choices in their lives. We also want to influence our elected officials to reduce energy consumption within our municipalities and to select GREEN energy choices. We want to reduce our carbon emissions and serve as an inspiration and an example for other communities to follow our efforts.

Let us know how you want to make a difference. info@pelhamgreen.org

Some Initiatives that Pelham Green is supporting:

Greening the Schools: Pelham Green is supporting the implementation of trash reduction and separation plans. This is a great initiative to build awareness in our younger generation of Pelhamites. PelhamGreen is also pushing the Pelham school board to increasing the amount of organic food that is served in Pelham schools.

Gardening Cooperative: Pelham Green is currently trying to bring members together that are interested in sharing in a community share harvesting. This initiative is still being put together, so if you are interested please leave your contact information on the Volunteer page.

Highbrook Highline: The Friends of the NYW&B Highbrook Highline are a group committed to preserving a historic green space in Pelham. The goal is to preserve a 2 acre railbed of a retired railway into a passive walk-through greenway for all residents to admire. Pelham Green supports Friends of Highbrook Highline in there initiative to repair a critical bridge that would restore this historic landmark.
