To effectively train Network Members we offer three webinars followed by one on-site training, typically at a Member-area pilot location. We draw on our experience from over 60 depavings in Greater Portland, Oregon to teach participants the key elements of a successful program and how to plan and implement depaving projects.
Want to free your soil? We can help!
Depave has over a decade of experience developing volunteer-driven neighborhood projects. Our unique model for community engagement in re-greening is recognized across the world as the leading effort of its kind.
Many environmental groups consider pavement a barrier to restoration projects due to the costly nature of traditional removal methods, but depaving can be an economical opportunity to foster community engagement, stewardship, and placemaking.
We’re excited to share our knowledge and expertise with groups across the county. As a member in the Depave Network, you’ll join the growing ranks of other community oriented environmental groups performing awesome and inspiring urban improvements through cutting-edge tactical urbanism. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with a network of members in order to strengthen depaving in your city.
