Our Name
Originally a common pasture for cattle grazing, since 1634 the Boston Common has served as a community space owned by no one, yet essential to all. Like “the Common”, our work stands at the intersection of the ecologic and economic and realms, fostering environmental regeneration and equitable prosperity in our local and global community.
Our Principles
