Our mission
Collective action, one green stick at a time.
Green Stick Army empowers communities to create a greener, more sustainable future through environmental stewardship, education and hands-on collective action.
The "Army" in our name is about people power: neighbors, families, schools and workplaces showing up together. From cleanups to tree planting, we make sustainability something you can do this weekend.
