Gulfport Environmental Team (G.E.T.) Meeting

About this event

Gulfport Environmental Team (G.E.T.) - The Gulfport Environmental Team (G.E.T.) meets each month at 6:00 p.m. at the 49th Street Neighborhood Center. Community members interested in environmental stewardship, sustainability initiatives, and enhancing Gulfport's natural beauty are encouraged to attend and get involved.

Who We Are The Gulfport Environmental Team is a group of residents and volunteers dedicated to making Gulfport greener, healthier, and more beautiful. Trees and green spaces provide numerous benefits to our community, including increasing property values, reducing urban heat, absorbing stormwater runoff, improving air quality, and enhancing overall quality of life.

What We Do Our efforts begin with conducting a citywide tree inventory to identify opportunities for expanding and strengthening Gulfport's urban tree canopy. Through community partnerships and public education, we work to: • Diversify and expand Gulfport's tree canopy.

• Educate residents about selecting, planting, and maintaining appropriate trees for their properties.

• Support community tree planting initiatives.

• Promote the environmental, economic, and social benefits of trees.

• Develop educational materials and articles focused on urban forestry and sustainability.

• Encourage environmental stewardship throughout the community.

Whether you are passionate about trees, sustainability, wildlife, or simply making Gulfport a greener place to live, we welcome your participation.
