Spotlight on Green Columbus!

Green Columbus is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization based in Central Ohio that focuses on sustainability, community engagement, and environmental resilience.  Its core activities and initiatives include tree planting & care, tree canopy expansion, community forums, and environmental action.
