Our Mission
The Conservancy is a not-for-profit organization that creates environmental justice leadership opportunities for young adults and engages diverse residents of all ages in hands-on ecological restoration, and beautification projects.
We are building a culture of inclusion, action, and stewardship while we help lift up the voices, priorities and initiative of underserved neighborhoods.
Our mission is to :
Plant hope, beauty and resiliency in collaboration with diverse local groups and individuals.
Plan, protect, restore, and enhance parks, trees, community gardens, trails and watersheds.
Help ensure that all residents have equitable, easy access to safe and healthy greenspaces.
“Thank you for offering me this great opportunity and for mentoring me. I have learned skills that I am extremely grateful for and have already been able to put to use.”
