The Emerald Necklace Conservancy brings people together to renew,
enliven and advocate for the Emerald Necklace park system. Stretching
from the Back Bay to Dorchester, this historic park serves as the front
and back yard for city dwellers and a destination for more than 1
million visitors and residents each year. Conservancy volunteers and
program participants “give back” over 20,000 hours annually on projects
dedicated to park restoration and maintenance; events for families,
youth, residents and volunteers; public education; constituency-building
and park advocacy. Focusing its work in the six Emerald Necklace parks
designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Conservancy collaborates with the
City of Boston, Town of Brookline, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
and the many park partners committed to keeping our parks healthy and
accessible for all.
