Cultivating Green Spaces Together

A participatory project, Urban Pastorals brings together Somerville-area residents in small acts of attending to, and tending, our shared ecosystems. 

Urban Pastorals aims to facilitate conversations among diverse Somerville residents by building awareness of our shared built and natural environments, reengaging the commons by joining together in community, and contributing responses—reflections, poetry, photography, sound, and other media—to an interactive online map of the city.
