about us
Paradise is not free. It must be created and defended.
If you truly want to live in it, we really need your help.
Don't just talk the talk. The world is full of people who say "do as I say", but they do nothing tangible.
Walk the walk... and CHANGE THE WORLD.

PHILOSOPHY
We all live in the city, and we all deserve to live in Paradise. Urban Paradise is our objective. Our Guild of innovative, skilled and hard-working people will make it real.
The Urban Paradise Guild was founded to bring natural habitat back to the places where we live.
Our city was Paradise before it was paved. With enough dedicated effort we can transform it into Urban Paradise, where the human and natural worlds blend more harmoniously.
When we make an investment by making small accommodations for nature, we gather a bounty of dividends that improve our quality of life.
By adding native plants, we create new habitat and protect human infrastructure. Plants and trees clean our air. Mangroves calm and filter our water, shelter our coastlines, and as estuaries provide us with fish to eat.
There are many essential roles to be played: volunteer, educator, student and benefactor.
