Emerald Necklace Conservancy

Description

Our programs and funding support and complement initiatives by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, City of Boston and Town of Brookline who began the Necklaceâ s restoration in the 1980s. Our programs focus on parks restoration and maintenance, public education and outreach, constituency-building, project reviews and improvement of public access to and through the park system, among other activities. A non-profit organization and public-private partnership, the Conservancy brings together government, business, residential and institutional representatives, community leaders and organizations, and environmental and park advocates in support of Olmstedâ s legacy.
