Growing Together: Groundwork Erie’s 2025 Annual Report

Growing Together marks Groundwork Erie’s inaugural annual report and a milestone moment for our organization. This first report affirmed what Groundwork has long believed: real change happens when people, land, and opportunities are nurtured together. From youth stepping into green workforce leadership, to neighbors planting and caring for trees, land, and our local food system, our work in 2025 was shaped by collaboration, listening, and shared growth. This report reflects a year of learning and momentum and the collective effort of partners, residents, and young people who are growing a healthier, more resilient Erie alongside us.
