What is a Green Map?

A Green Map charts the places where nature and the designed world interconnect, using the international Green Map Icons to symbolize the different kinds of ecologically and culturally significant sites. From Tororo, Uganda, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, Kopenhagen, Denmark to nearly 100 U.S. cities including Seattle, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit the Green Map System has inspired urban dwellers of all ages to present an alternative, environmental view of their cities.
