Bristol Green Team
Program Description:
Be part of the solution not the pollution.
Bristol Green Team is an environmental stewardship program that empowers residents and local organizations including businesses, nonprofits, civic groups, schools, and community associations to take an active role in caring for Bristol’s parks, trails, and public green spaces.
Managed by the Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth & Community Services Department (BPRYCS), the Green Team provides resources, structure, and support so individuals and organizations can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the community.
Through individual engagement and coordinated volunteer events, the Green Team promotes environmental responsibility, community pride, and sustainable practices.
A park clean-up is more than picking up trash — it’s community building and environmental stewardship.
