Lots going on this summer with Green Map! Let’s start with a highlight from the great Oak Bay Community Green Map team, announcing its renewal.
On Canada's wild west coast, in the town of Victoria in British Columbia, a team of local people are recreating the Oak Bay Community Green Map which was first published in 2008. As Maeve Lydon and Sam Moss say, “Oak Bay is surrounded by the ocean amidst the US and Canadian Gulf Islands, on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish First Nations (as you can see on the Salish Sea Map below). UVIC, local NGOs, the Living Lab Project, community-schools groups and First Nations will be revising and reprinting the map over the Fall-Winter 2026-2027 and creating a new web platform.”
With Green Map NYC’s new LES Power project, we published our first Zine - yes, it’s a map-zine that can be explored as a map or as a booklet, rich with resources that connect you with the energy transition that’s making headway on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Check it out - let us know if you want copies or or join one of our events in September.
We have an array of walking tours and events during NYC Climate Week, all of which are linked to this page - bit.ly/CW-LES26 and on our social media. Yes, Climate Week NYC is enormous but a climate walk in a storied neighborhood and the new LES Power map-zine might be just what you need!
A summer highlight was a special tour for the Summer Fellows at the Human Impacts Institute. It was a gloriously green journey through the East Village’s Garden District. See the outcomes on September 20th, and check out their full day of events on Sept 24th. This organization made the Marseilles Green Map in 2024, when France hosted the Olympics!
We promise to send you an update in mid-September with more details on all of this! Until then, thank you for your support, and best wishes from everyone at Green Map.
