Corporate and Institutional Partnership

The Emerald Necklace is your front door and your backyard offering more than a thousand acres of vibrant public parks in the heart of the city for the daily use and enjoyment of all - including all served by the surrounding community of academic, medical and cultural institutions.

Support from the business community is essential in order to keep the Emerald Necklace green and full of activity. Companies that care about the Boston area and its quality of life help this effort by becoming "Corporate Members" of the Emerald Necklace Conservancy.

Reap the Benefits of Corporate Partnership!

Foster teamwork, build morale, connect with the community, and make a difference in the parks by becoming a Corporate Partner. Bring your team of employees into the parks and we'll provide a meaningful volunteer activity such as refurbishing pathways, clearing brush and debris or removing invasive plant species that choke waterways and woodlands of the Emerald Necklace.
