About Us
Our Story
The High 5 Initiative is a local 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization dedicated to the preservation of our natural environment. We believe in our collective ability as a species to not only identify but solve the biggest problems facing our planet today.
So far we have removed almost 30,000 pounds of trash from rivers and riparian areas leading to the Chesapeake Bay and collected over 500,000 plastic containers at our participating collection centers that would have otherwise made it to the landfill.
Our Mission
The High 5 Initiative, Inc. is a locally based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to practicing, promoting, and enabling the conservation of nature through sustainable practices.
