Project EverGreen programs and initiatives include GreenCare for Troops/SnowCare for Troops, “Healthy Turf. Healthy Kids,” managed green space revitalization projects, and the Environmental Communicator of the Year program.
In 2015, Project EverGreen spearheaded renovation projects covering more than 250,000 square feet of managed green spaces with in-kind donations from professional contractors and suppliers totaling nearly $100,000. In addition, the organization’s GreenCare and SnowCare for Troops volunteers delivered snow and ice removal, as well as lawn care and landscape services, valued at approximately $1 million to hundreds of military families and wounded/disabled veterans across the United States.
