This article aims to examine the potential of the locality of Sufism as a mechanical green
movement in Islam in Bojonegoro and Tuban. The research method used in the study of this
article is a qualitative descriptive research method, with data collection techniques of in-depth
interviews, observation, participants, and documentation. The results of the study of this article
show that the role of the Rowobayan and Lintas Ghoib congregations as local communities with
their mechanical awareness has considerable potential in encouraging grassroots community
greening movements in Bojonegoro and Tuban. The two tarekats have a distinctive perspective
in establishing the relationship between God, humans, and nature. The two congregations carried
out the greening campaign, and the grassroots community was carried out mechanically by the
murshid to their students. The existence of a murshid is the inheritor of the role of the Prophet
Muhammad, who God appointed as a universal compassionate agent for the universe, which
must be practiced in a transformative greening movement. In addition, the potential of the locality
of Sufism as the basis for the greening action is its perspective which does not see the relationship
between humans and nature as an exploitative subject-object relationship, like modern humans.
These two local congregations try to establish a harmonious relationship between humans and
nature with a mutualistic symbiotic relationship between subject and subject, not an exploitative
subject-object relationship. These potentials were then practicalized mechanically by his students
for river conservation in Bojonegoro and forest conservation in Tuban.
