The Camden Community GreenUp: A Green Initiative from Greater Camden County Partnership

Welcome!

With generous support from the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation and the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Greater Camden Partnership launched the Camden Community GreenUp, a project meant to deliver to the city and citizens of Camden the benefits of superb vacant lot stabilization.

What is GreenUp?

Right now, the City of Camden is in the midst of a massive revitalization. But that effort is hampered by the vast number of vacant lots that drain the city's resources and quality of life. With the start of the Camden Community GreenUp, the Greater Camden Partnership's vacant lot stabilization program, we hoped to change all that.

The Camden Community GreenUp's closing event on October 19 cleaned and greened three city blocks in Lanning Square and culminated in a party celebrating what we accomplished in just a few short weeks. This event initiated a massive "clean and green" effort on these two initial vacant lots. GreenUp has since moved to other lots.

Our goal is to not only improve our neighbors' quality of life but to establish Camden as a leader in environmentally friendly, socially responsible land use and development. With your help, we can make that goal a reality.

Today, we are continuing our efforts to clean and green the City of Camden with numerous projects. Check out www.coopersferry.com to learn more about sustainable clean and green programs throughout the City.

Thank you for your commitment to improving the City of Camden!
