Charles River Conservancy

Mission Statement

The Charles River Conservancy takes as its mission the renewal and stewardship of the Charles River Parklands and their surroundings, particularly parks, parkways and bridges. We work with community organizations as well as government, corporate and institutional partners and private citizens. The Conservancy engages in numerous Parklands restoration and improvement initiatives, including access and safety, education and outreach, and planning and maintenance programs. Our goal is to bring increased resources and attention to the Charles River Parklands as the centerpiece of Greater Bostons metropolitan park system.
