We are a network of independent, not-for-profit, environmental businesses called Groundwork Trusts. We work with communities to improve their environment, economy and quality of life through local action by getting local people, business, government and other organizations involved in practical projects. We believe people, places and prosperity are inextricably linked and work with our partners to develop projects which bring benefits to all three areas.

For people • creating opportunities for people to learn new skills and take local action

For places • creating better, safer and healthier neighborhoods

For prosperity • helping business and individuals fulfill their potential

The Groundwork USA network is built on partnership and linked together by the Groundwork USA national office, with support from the Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Program and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program
