Be a part of something BIG! Join the Emerald Necklace Conservancy and hundreds of volunteers who come together for the annual clean-up along the Muddy River and throughout the parks.
On this docent-led tour you’ll hear the fascinating story of how Frederick Law Olmsted transformed a fouled mudflat into a scenic Fens and the 20th century revisions that created the parkland we see today.
Save the date for the 14th Anniversary Party in the Park Luncheon to benefit the Justine Mee Liff Fund for the Emerald Necklace.
Led by an Emerald Necklace Conservancy docent, this tour will traverse the footprint of the restored Muddy River in the Back Bay Fens. You’ll learn about the project that brought portions of the Muddy River aboveground and hear the remarkable story of how a piece of Olmsted’s landscape was reclaimed as parkland after spending decades paved over and used as a parking lot.
