We Live Here Leland: Cultivating Community, One Project at a Time
Neighbors Making a Positive Difference in Leland
All Things Leland was pleased to speak with members of the We Live Here Leland organization. We discussed the group’s community projects and their ongoing work throughout Leland.
In the heart of Brunswick County, a vibrant, purpose-driven community group is making a tangible difference: We Live Here Leland.
This highly social, engaged non-profit is built on a simple yet powerful premise: to ensure the place we live is a place we love. Founded by passionate residents, the group focuses its collective energy on four key pillars: trees, trash, transportation, and trails. Far from just talking about local issues, We Live Here Leland is all about action, collaboration, and fostering a deep sense of civic pride and neighborhood connectivity. Their approach is infectious, bringing people together through hands-on activities that directly improve the local environment and quality of life for everyone.
The organization’s impact can be seen across the Leland area through its diverse range of initiatives and partnerships. From organizing “Lend a Hand Leland” events where volunteers tackle community cleanup and tree planting, to collaborating with the Coastal Land Trust on trail maintenance days, their projects enhance the natural beauty and accessibility of local green spaces like Brunswick Nature Park.
Their commitment to environmental stewardship is further highlighted by successful native tree distribution efforts, often in partnership with the Town of Leland and the Alliance for Cape Fear Trees, which helps build a healthier, more resilient local ecosystem.
We Live Here Leland is helping to shape Leland’s future in a collaborative and inclusive way. Their work is a shining example of how a few dedicated individuals, united by a love for their town, can inspire widespread community involvement and create a truly special place to call home.
