The Sustainability Project Inc. incorporated on March 21, 2000 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization promoting a love of nature, environmental stewardship, caring communities and ways of living that deepen our understanding of the interconnected web of life.  Our guiding principle is that diversity, inclusion and compassion are fundamental to the long-term well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.

Our new wheelchair accessible Emerson Brook Forest Outdoor Center officially opened to the public on October 14, 2007.

In 2008, The Sustainability Project is working in collaboration with other local organizations to:

• Continue work on the wheelchair accessible Emerson Brook Forest Outdoor Center with demonstration edible forest gardens
  
• Encourage environmentally sound horticultural/agricultural practices through Seed Celebrations, school gardening projects, Monadnock Seed Savers and Edible Forest Gardening events
  
• Offer a variety of "Stewards of The Earth" learning opportunities at our forest center
  
• Promote the conservation and preservation of open spaces.
  
• Publish "Nearer to Nature," a periodical that promotes the TSP vision and mission
  
• Facilitate Earth Institute discussion courses in the Monadnock region ,
  
• Promote the Mediated Home Share Service program designed as a solution to the shortage of affordable housing by supporting unique and mutually beneficial home-share situations
  
• Facilitate "Houses of Healing," an inmate support program
  

The Sustainability Project is in the process of creating a membership structure that will enable greater participation and influence in the organization’s progress. We’ve established a mentoring system to support a growing local network of social and environmental activism and to ensure a succession of innovative leaders promoting diverse approaches to sustainable living. Become a member of The Sustainability Project and share your visions of sustainable community practices and a healthy planet.
