Advocating to improve and increase green space in Somerville,
focusing on ecological restoration and climate change resiliency.
DePAVE the Way to a greener world, one driveway at a time!
Join neighbors to remove pavement from their yards to restore natural green spaces. Depaving cools the local climate and reduces the urban heat island effect, increases stormwater uptake, reduces run-off and the concentration of pollutants in it, restores the soil carbon sponge, removes toxic asphalt, supports climate change mitigation, contributes to wildlife habitat, and grows the urban connection to nature.
​
If you are interested in volunteering on a project, hosting your own depaving, or just getting on the depaving mailing list, email greenopensomerville@gmail.com.
