A successful NeighborWoods effort begins with community members who can imagine, plan, and work together. The result will be neighbors learning together, supporting one another, and sharing an understanding of what it takes to make both the community and the forest thrive. Together we can create a strong voice on behalf of the urban forest. We can make a great difference in the health, beauty, and livability of our communities. We can strengthen communities by offering action-oriented approaches that bring people together around a common purpose.
What does a successful NeighborWoods project look like? Like a good meal, every community project is different, based on different community needs (appetites) and different projects undertaken (recipes). What is true for every successful project is that neighbors develop stronger relationships, residents become more aware of their surrounding forest, and neighborhood leaders ensure a thriving NeighborWoods.
The NeighborWoods Guide is a list of recipes and an invitation to imagine. As you progress through the pages, remember that accomplishments, both great and small, are built on simple appreciation and actions like those you have noted above.
Keep us informed of your progress. Share your lessons, questions, frustrations, and successes as we grow NeighborWoods together.
