Mar. 2011 - Jul. 2022Rochester, New YorkGreentopia's Misssion: Through extraordinary ecological design, stewardship and community advocacy, we will create resilient public realms. Greentopia's two main focus areas are: Green Visions - a workforce development project started in 2012 working with at-risk young adults 18-21 years old. The 22-week program commercially grows cut flowers on vacant lots in Rochester's challenged JOSANA neighborhood. Participants are paid a stipend and receive a variety of training and certificates, building a resumรฉ that can help them take the first step towards full employment, receiving a high school equivalency degree or going on to higher education. To date, the program has successfully graduated over 60 youth. High Falls EcoDistrict - Greentopia spent the last two years organizing and forming the basis of an EcoDistrict centered on the High Falls. An Ecodistrict is a neighborhood-scale project that moves towards ambitious environmental and social equity goals. It is the first such district in the State of New York and is among the world's first cohort of certified EcoDistricts. The EcoDistrict will also provide education through an envisioned urban Environmental Education Center along the Genesee River. Finally, the EcoDistrict is working with the State, City and private investors to convert existing trails and other attraction assets around the rim of the High Falls Genesee Gorge into an urban park system. the first part of this system, the FlourGarden - a native garden and waterworks with fountains, LED lighting and waterfalls - has already been constructed and is enjoyed by Rochestarians and visitors alike.
