Sustainability Lives Here in the Baker Neighborhood

The Sustainability Committee of the Baker Historic Neighborhood Association organizes events and implements initiatives throughout the year that enhance the livability of our neighborhood while reducing our ecological footprint.

Primary Focus Areas Include:

• Facilitating Neighborhood and Community Stewardship including educational events, block parties, gardens and green sites, farmers markets and food forests, "voluntourism" and clean-ups!
• Accelerating our neighborhoods Electrification and transition to Renewable Energy sources supporting lower energy bills for residents and businesses alike!
• Expanding our Tree Canopy to mitigate the urban heat island effect.  Transitioning brownfield locations into clean and green sites, micro-parks, across the community.
• Being a leading, Water-Wise community in the metro Denver area.  We strive to establish xeriscaped native plant nurseries, and support and encourage installation of geographically appropriate, pollinator-friendly micro-gardens.

The Sustainability Committee invites new and old friends and neighbors to reach out to sustainability@bakerneighborhood.org with your interest in volunteering with the committee, and with questions, comments and suggestions.
