The Emerald Necklace Conservancy
Emerald Necklace

Advocacy

The Conservancy's many advocacy efforts aim to preserve and protect the special resources of this linear park system and to recapture its earlier greatness. Our Park Overseers - representatives of more than 18 partner organizations - are working with transportation officials to improve connections between and to the parks at challenging locations like the Route 9 crossing and the vicinity of the Landmark Center. We continue to work to improve informative park signage, and have begun to create a pocket visitor map for self-guided tours.
