What is the National Registry and why should I be a part of it?
Natural resources have been used to revitalize much more than our city streets and towns. Nature has been known to help heal the spirit and to reconnect ourselves to life. In the aftermath of September 11th, many people sought solace in nature: walking through a neighborhood park, sitting in a garden or looking out along the water's edge. Some of us held candlelight vigils for lives lost and brought flowers to the doorways of homes, firehouses and rescue stations. As the seasons change many of us have new ideas for volunteer greening projects to inspire hope, strength, and peace in our communities.
Share information about your project and become part of a the national map and registry. Your project, story, and photographs will be posted on the web and shared with others throughout the country. The information you provide will inspire other locally based efforts and serve as a practical resource for communities, government agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations.
