The great 19th-century American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted designed most of the famous city parks in the northeastern United States. Among his greatest works were New York City's Central Park and the "Emerald Necklace" of parks, gardens and boulevards that extend natural beauty from Boston's historic Boston Common all through the city to the Arnold Arboretum miles away. The Emerald Necklace Conservancy is dedicated to preserving and maintaining Olmsted's legacy, and enriching the experience of everyone who visits and enjoys this natural and architectural treasure. The Conservancy organizes numerous fun events in the parks. Visit their website for details. Emerald Necklace Conservancy
