A Greenway “district” is emerging, with more cafés, retail stores, entertaining and educational attractions, and new investments in properties adjacent to the Greenway. The Greenway itself is an integral part of this evolution, expressing the best of Boston though horticulture and the arts. As the steward of the Greenway, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy (“the Conservancy”) has been working to achieve a shared vision of the Greenway as a physical and civic connector. The Conservancy is proud to present an overview of our accomplishments for the past year in the areas of park operations, public programs, fundraising and support. PARK OPERATIONS Inspired by the life of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, the Conservancy’s approach to everything we do blends the practical with the principled. To support public health and maintain the newly restored water quality in Boston Harbor, our park operations staff (five positions) has made a commitment to use methods and products that are environmentally responsible and avoid the use of toxic chemicals. The park maintenance team has grown to include individuals with disabilities, subcontracted from Work, Inc., and soon will incorporate Boston teens and young adults through the Conservancy’s Green and Grow youth workforce development program.
