Join us for a special event in honor of Frederick Law Olmsted's 195th birthday! Sponsored by Olmsted 2022, Emerald Necklace Conservancy, Arborway Coalition and other community organizations.
Saturday, April 29 | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm with picnic to follow
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.

Enjoy a seven-mile walk on a spring day through Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace—from the Fens to Franklin Park— with Conservancy President Karen Mauney-Brodek and some very special guests. Brief stops along the way will allow
participants see recent park improvements and hear about the exciting things to come for the Emerald Necklace, considered by many to be one of the greatest park systems ever designed.
Enjoy a leisurely walk through the gardens of the Fens. You’ll take in the sights and scents of the historic Kelleher Rose Garden with its more than 1,500 roses and recently reconstructed fountain, and meander the paths of the oldest continually operating Victory Garden in America.
