Testimonials

"Open space is a critical component of any urban landscape, and Boston is blessed with an historic array of over 20 parks and 19 miles of shoreline that weave through our city.  By bringing the peace and tranquility of nature into the bustling urban landscape, these areas provide opportunities for reflection and recreation for residents and visitors alike.  These natural settings are important components for Boston's ability to attract visitors from around the world, as demonstrated by the fact that they host more visitors than our convention centers and sports teams combined...I commend the work of the Conservancy and its efforts to redesign and maintain the Basin.  Together, we will return this precious natural resource to the original beauty its founders envisioned."

"I love moving water, rivers, and streams.  And I LOVE it when communities get together to do great things.  There's nothing more powerful, maybe nothing more beautiful.  And I think the Charles River Conservancy is an outstanding example of that."
