The Lakewood Sustainable Neighborhoods Program, part of the national Sustainable Neighborhood Network, gives residents the opportunity to become active partners in making Lakewood a vibrant and sustainable community. Neighborhoods participating in this unique certification program use guidance from city staff to organize workshops, projects, and events that enhance the livability of their neighborhood and reduce residents' ecological footprint. Participating neighborhoods earn program credits for their efforts and, depending on the number of credits earned in a given year, they may receive designation as a “Participating Sustainable Neighborhood” or an “Outstanding Sustainable Neighborhood” from the City. Visit each neighborhood's webpage below to learn more about their initiatives and how to get involved!
