Founded in 1987, Baton Rouge Green’s goals have been to help Baton Rouge area citizens better understand, preserve, plant & maintain trees & forests as an important community resource. During its 22 years, BRG has accomplished the following with the vigilant support of over 300 members and scores of dedicated volunteers:
- Helped develop Baton Rouge’s first landscape & tree ordinance in 1991. Click here to view the current Landscape Ordinance
- Kept citizens informed about opportunities for continual improvement of the ordinance through representation on the EBR Tree & Landscape Commission.
- Partners with the Mayor's office and the Department of Public Works in the management of the Green Light Landscape Program
Facts About the Green Light Beautification Program
- East Baton Rouge Parish voters extended a half-cent sales tax through 2030 to fund The Green Light Plan
