On-the-ground neighborhood action

We coordinate direct planting and runoff mitigation projects where residential zones meet local waterways and school grounds.

Campus Canopy Targets

Buffer Zone Planting

Neighborhood Bioswales

Planting native shade trees on local school borders to reduce heat islands and create natural outdoor classrooms.

Establishing multi-layered vegetative buffers between residential streets and active agricultural drainage ditches.

Coordinating community digging days to install rock-lined bioswales that capture and filter street runoff.

Practical tools for soil-first remediation

We provide the physical resources and scientific guidance to manage residential drainage and restore local soil chemistry.

What is included

Each physical kit contains three native saplings, soil testing meters, organic compost, and a step-by-step planting guide tailored for Georgia clay.

The runoff from the street used to pool in my backyard every spring. Installing the backyard bioswale with the Alliance completely stabilized our soil.
