Guerillas in the Midst

Posted by Grist at 12:39 PM on 13 Feb 2006

Steve Frillmann of community-gardening group Green Guerillas (try saying that five times fast!) helps his 8 million neighbors create and protect green spaces in New York City. As this week's InterActivist, Frillmann chats about how something as simple as giving away a few seedlings can make a big difference in helping a community grow. Send Frillmann a question of your own by noon PST on Wednesday; we'll publish his answers to selected questions on Friday.

Green Guerillas

I think the Green Guerillas provide a great service to NYC helping keep things green. They were the first community greening group, and their founder Liz Christy is considered to be the Mother of the modern urban community gardening movement.It really is grass roots environmential action.
