2008 CityRoots Photo Journal now available!

UEI is excited to introduce the 2008 CityRoots Photo Journal, highlighting the hard work of over 180 dedicated community volunteers belonging to 11 neighborhood ecological restoration projects across the Boston area.

Over the course of the summer, 78 trees and close to 200 shrubs and perennials were proudly added to the Boston landscape, contributing to UEI's mission of building healthy, vibrant cities.

Congratulations to all our participants - 2008 was the most successful year in CityRoots history! See you in 2009!

 


Emily Hoffman

Education Division Director


Emily Hoffman came to UEI in June of 2007 on her return to the Boston area after living in the Dominican Republic for the past three years as a Peace Corps Volunteer, spearheading a national initiative for Dominican youth to be empowered to become community environmental leaders. She also worked in the different neighborhoods and villages of her municipality to plant over 50 organic kitchen gardens and home based composting. Before her Caribbean experience, she was the Special Projects Coordinator at the New England Aquarium here in Boston. Emily has a M.Ed. in Museum Education from Bank Street School of Education in New York City and a BA in science education from Hampshire College in Amherst. A life-long resident of Boston and Cambridge, Emily is very excited to join the UEI team and looks forward to the limitless possibilities for collaboration and growth in creating an environmentally literate community in Massachusetts.
