The Emerald Necklace Conservancy was incorporated in 1997 with the mission to restore and improve the Emerald Necklace for all. The Conservancy connects people and parks and conserves the Emerald Necklace through maintenance and capital restoration projects in the parks, environmental education, visitor services and free cultural events. 

The Emerald Necklace is Boston’s largest park system—a seven-mile, 1,100-acre linear park stretching from Beacon Hill to Dorchester. The Conservancy cares for the six Frederick Law Olmsted-designed parks included in the system—the Back Bay Fens, the Riverway, Olmsted Park, Jamaica Pond and Franklin Park—as well as the four parkways: Riverway, Jamaicaway, Arborway and Fenway. 

The Conservancy collaborates with the City of Boston, Town of Brookline and Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It's the only organization that brings together the Necklace’s residential neighbors, community and business leaders, park advocates and government agencies and officials to work for the renewal of this historic park system.
