Save The Green

 
 

Save The Green, Inc. is a grassroots organization working to protect the identity and longevity of the Beaverdale community by preserving Rice schoolyard.


Beaverdale’s only public elementary school property has been publicly held since 1909. The school was demolished in the fall of 2000. Preserving the schoolyard will act as a buffer against overdevelopment in Beaverdale.
