The program encourages college enrollment, opening new vistas and career exploration. The Clean & Green Program annually works with hundreds of recently incarcerated Newark residents and ex-gang affiliated members to assist them in making the transition from prison to gainful employment. Training focuses on a variety of horticultural and landscaping skills. Throughout the program participants clean and green highway gateways and medians and hundreds of vacant, city-owned lots in Newark. A major emphasis has been on developing and helping to maintain the Conservancy's two larger urban farms. Environmental Justice Program With its Environmental Justice Program the Conservancy organizes and empowers inner-city residents to confront and overcome urban environmental issues. For many years the program focused on various components of Newark's master planning process, seeking to interject sound environmental principles and to guide the city toward greater sustainability. More recently the program has concentrated on seeking an environmentally sensitive cleanup of the intensively polluted lower Passaic River while minimizing the impacts on the Ironbound section of Newark.
