Organization:
Charleston Parks Conservancy
Mission:
The Charleston Parks Conservancy is a conduit through which Charleston's rich horticultural history meets continued beautification. With our roots in history and our eyes on the future, we seek to provide for our parks the same level of respect and preservation that we already give to our city. We will create a common goal of park preservation and appreciation for every public space in Charleston as we connect people to people, people to the past and people to their parks.
