Changing Lives
Why We Do it
Our mission isn’t just environmental—it’s personal. It’s about giving residents the tools to reclaim space, build skills, and lead the future of their communities—one lot, one block, one story at a time.
Reclaiming Our Space
Our Mission
Groundwork Mobile County is focused on transforming neglected land in Africatown, Prichard, and Southside Mobile into healthy green spaces, vibrant community assets, and pathways for youth to lead in the restoration of their own neighborhoods.
Prichard
TREES PLANTED LOCALLY
Tree planting efforts are helping to reduce heat and restore beauty in areas hit hardest by illegal dumping and blight. Streets near Wilson Avenue and Elm Street are seeing new growth
Africatown
BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT
These brownfields—once barriers to growth—are now being transformed into future assets like playgrounds, green corridors, and community gathering spaces
Southside
COMMUNITY GARDENS
In an area with limited access to fresh food and green space, Southside Mobile is seeing its first community gardens break ground. Raised beds, clean soil, and resident-led planting are turning vacant lots into assets that feed both body and block.
