PlanItGreen

PlanItGreen is a collaboration designed to enhance the sustainability, vibrancy, and quality of life in Oak Park, River Forest, and neighboring communities.

PlanItGreen grew out of the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation’s Communityworks initiative, and is a collaboration between the OPRF Community Foundation, Seven Generations Ahead, and multiple local institutions and governing bodies. PlanItGreen is guided by the OPRF Community Foundation’s Communityworks Advisory Board and the PlanItGreen Core Team.

Through PlanItGreen, SGA helps facilitate the ongoing implementation of sustainability projects in Oak Park and River Forest, aligning with each municipality’s sustainability goals.

This work was initially rooted in the Environmental Sustainability Plan for Oak Park and River Forest created by SGA in 2011, and has since expanded as the communities have adopted updated plans and expanded their sustainability goals to pursue greater impact.
