The Exploration Green Conservancy, Inc.

Programs: Reintroducing native trees, shrubs, grasses and flowers; creating park amenities including hike and bike trails, athletic fields and park space for children, and supporting flood control and wetlands. Speakers are available to give presentations in the classroom or to student group meetings. Contact website for booking. Major Events: Town hall meetings, on-site ground-breaking, and festivals. Volunteer Opportunities: There are numerous volunteer opportunities helping environmental, park, recreation and athletics activities.
