Community Centre

Place where clubs, meetings and social gatherings involving the whole community are held. May be a formalised community centre, or one established though common use.

Community Garden

Often on public or formerly abandoned land, places where people plant and grow their own vegetables and flowers in small plots. People also grow relationships and a close connection to the city. Sometimes fenced and locked; sometimes threatened by development.

Environmental Learning Centre

It can range from intensive programs within a regular school system or university, to places offering one-time environmental workshops and lectures to the public. Could be a hands-on learning centre or technical school.

Scientific/Research Site

Centre for natural sciences, environmental studies and related sciences and technologies. May be indoors or out. Research should enhance some aspect of sustainability.
