Dedham Greenspace Coalition is a growing, community-powered movement to celebrate and protect our town’s green and open spaces and natural resources.
We work to protect, conserve, and thoughtfully enhance public open spaces through collaboration, local action, and partnerships with residents, town leaders, nonprofits, and businesses. At the heart of our mission is a belief that healthy natural spaces strengthen environmental resilience, support biodiversity, and enrich the well-being of our community today and for generations to come.
We are in the process of expanding our outreach to local residents across neighborhoods, municipal leaders, and civic groups, and are surveying public sentiment about greenspace needs and priorities. We are identifying shared value systems around environmental protection, equitable public access, outdoor health, and climate resilience — values that cut across age, background and political affiliation.
