Letter from the President
It has been a joy and honor to lead the Emerald
Necklace Conservancy for the past eight years.
Looking back at what we have accomplished together
has crystalized my realization that great parks
happen only when there is both public and private
support. A strong partnership in which we all invest
in our parks gives the greatest return.
Thanks to your support, our capacity and impact
expanded in 2015 with the addition of new staff.
Volunteer coordinator, Ellen Arnstein, is bringing
record numbers of individuals and groups into
the parks for clean-ups, rose care and woodlands
restoration. Kent Jackson, director of education, is
widening our educational reach using the Emerald
Necklace as an outdoor classroom to connect
schoolchildren and nature. And thanks to our new
communications coordinator, Tessa Rose, we are
connecting with a new audience through social media
and innovative programming.
In an increasingly segmented society, the Emerald
Necklace is the common ground that unites us—a
place where people from all walks of life come
together for respite, recreation and community, just
as Frederick Law Olmsted envisioned more than a
century ago. The parks are democracy come to life,
a verdant swath of nature and fresh air that beckons
and welcomes one and all. The Emerald Necklace
Conservancy is committed to making the Emerald
Necklace the best it can be today and for the future
generations that will savor this green space in the
heart of an ever more urban world.
As I leave the Conservancy, the parks will continue to
play an important part of my life. I invite you to share
this annual report with friends and encourage them
to join you in supporting the Emerald Necklace. It’s
only when we all pitch in to help that we can make
our parks great.
Message from the Board Chair
I’d like to share a few words with you about the
accomplishments of the Conservancy under Julie
Crockford’s leadership. In many ways, the Emerald
Necklace Conservancy has never been stronger,
its efforts never more essential in making Boston
a healthy, livable city. From developing the Green
Team youth program in 2008 to the opening of the
Shattuck Visitor Center in 2011 to the launch of the
Olmsted Tree Society in 2013 and the Speak Out
series in 2016, Julie has helped increase the capacity
and significance of the work we do. Programs
developed during her tenure are thriving and
making measurable impacts in the parks.
Susan Knight, director of development, will
serve as interim president while we search for
the Conservancy's next leader. With Susan's able
leadership, an excellent staff, and your continued
support, we are positioned to connect even
greater numbers of people with the parks through
expanded programming, educational initiatives
and new collaborations.

Seeing Olmsted’s genius
through a singular walk
The Olmsted Tree Society (OTS) was established in
2013 to preserve and protect the trees of the
Emerald Necklace.
For many, the Emerald Necklace serves as a
source of great meaning and treasured memories.
This holds true for Gloria Wallace, who, in 2015,
sponsored a tree in memory of her late husband,
Ron. Ron dedicated many years to learning, teaching
and experiencing Olmsted’s masterpiece from the
perspective of an artist and a true devotee of
nature. His deep connection to the Emerald
Necklace revealed itself in the walks he designed
and guided. Here is his story.
From his first exposure to the Emerald Necklace
in the early 1970’s, Ron Wallace was drawn to
Frederick Law Olmsted’s ability to combine the
practical needs of society with the parallel need
for beauty and respite. As both an artist and later,
a designer of leading-edge technology, Ron shared
this unique dichotomy and later used it to introduce
scores of individuals to the wonders of the Emerald
Necklace.

In 1983, Ron took a year off to fully immerse himself
in learning everything about the Emerald Necklace
—botany, landscaping, urban topology, and about
“Ron was married to the Necklace; for him it
became an all-consuming engagement”
—Keith Kurman
Olmsted himself. A year later, he felt equipped
to offer a performance event—“On the Emerald
Necklace”—a series of 35 walks taken by the
artist and one individual along the entire length
of the Necklace. These walks were a way for
Ron to bring someone into the space and he was
prepared to respond to anything that might come
up for that individual. “He didn’t want to direct the
participant but, rather, to interrelate with them, so
that each walk was a unique, bonded perceptual
experience,” offered Gloria Wallace, Ron’s wife of
15 years.
“Ron was particularly taken by Olmsted’s ability
to create mini-ecosystems within the Necklace,”
offered Keith Kurman, landscape designer and
friend. “He was continually fascinated by the
multiple layers of minutiae one finds while

“Our Emerald Necklace Tree Management Plan
informs the work we do in the parks with the help
of volunteers and in collaboration with Boston Parks
and Recreation, Brookline Parks and Open Space
and the Department of Conservation.”

exploring the length of these linear parks.” Nita Sturiale,
artist and MassArt colleague of Ron, recognized this as
well. “Ron resonated with Olmsted’s attention to the
most minute details, yet also appreciated his genius in
sculpting beauty. As an artist, he recognized the need
for contemplation and the transformative effects of our
natural surroundings.” She noted that Ron also connected
deeply with Olmsted’s sense of democracy and quiet
introspection. “He carried a nineteenth-century style
of gentility and progressive thought, much like the
enlightened thinkers of that time.”

Ron succumbed to his battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s
disease) in August of 2015. Soon after his passing,
Gloria Wallace worked through the Conservancy to
dedicate a tree to honor her husband. She chose a giant
Northern Red Oak adjacent to a footbridge slated for
restoration. “He would have loved the fact that when the
restored bridge is open once again, the tree will be there
to welcome those entering Olmsted’s Riverway—much
as Ron himself did in life.”

Connecting People
and Parks through
Stewardship & Education
Promoting exploration and
immersion in an outdoor
classroom
Education is a key component of many
Conservancy programs—from docent-led tours
and interpretive activities that enrich the park
visitor experience to volunteer training that
includes an introduction to invasive species and
woodlands ecology. It is also at the heart of the
Conservancy’s two signature youth initiatives: the
Summer Green Team and the Youth Leadership
Program (YLP), complementary programs that
engage young people, ages 15—18, in hands-on
stewardship activities and experiences that foster
environmental awareness.
rich outdoor classroom and as more attention is
paid to exposing our young people to nature, we
believe the Conservancy is in a unique position to
provide younger students with an entrée into the
natural world, infusing them with environmental
learning they’ll hopefully carry into adulthood,”
offered Susan Helms Daley, Conservancy board
member and chair of the Education Working
Group. “The nurturing of a child’s curiosity in
the outdoors—climbing, touching, observing,
listening—provides powerful hands-on training.”
Kent Jackson, director of education, sees this
growing environmental awareness first hand.
“As the students develop their leadership skills,
they also make that critical connection of how
their park preservation efforts contribute to the
environment as a whole. The majority leave here
with a heightened sense of responsibility for the
earth.”
As an extension of the successful impact of its
youth programs, the Conservancy is now focused
on expanding this type of learning to students at
a younger age. “The Emerald Necklace provides a

“The work we do in the Emerald Necklace
is important because we need to keep the
Earth healthy for future generations.”
—Paul, Green Team member
For Kent Jackson, that also means providing younger
students with critical STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and math) training, particularly in the
natural sciences. “Our goal will be to partner with
elementary schools to extend the students’ classroom
lessons into the outdoors—learning about water,
air and trees—making key connections through
the senses and gaining a new awareness of their
surroundings.” As the world becomes increasingly
complex, the effect takes us further from the natural
world. “We recognize the importance of connecting
children to nature, and in this case, introducing them
to the Emerald Necklace, which, for many serves as
their front and back yards,” states Kent.

Emerald Necklace Maintenance
Collaborative
Conceived by the Conservancy in partnership with
the MA Department of Correction, Boston Parks and
Recreation and Brookline Parks and Open Space,
the Maintenance Collaborative provides essential
maintenance work in the parks through pre-release
vocational training. The program, which marked
its ten-year milestone in 2015, includes on-the-job
training in parks maintenance and restoration along
with weekly classes in horticulture. “Many of the
men who completed the program have come back
to visit. Almost all are [now] gainfully employed and
attribute this to the training they received,” states
the Conservancy’s director of park operations, Ray
Oladapo-Johnson. The program is funded in part by
the Cummings Foundation’s $100K for 100 grant
program.
“They bring an energy and commitment to the
Emerald Necklace that is inspiring.”
In 2015, the Conservancy expanded its
capacity to manage volunteer events by
adding the position of volunteer coordinator
to the team. The result—record numbers of
groups and individuals helping to restore the
woodlands, care for the roses in the Kelleher
Rose Garden and clear out litter and debris
along the Muddy River.
Volunteers for the Necklace
Volunteers are integral to the Conservancy’s
mission to rehabilitate and maintain the Emerald
Necklace. From helping out at events to removing
invasive plants and mulching planting beds to
leading interpretive tours, there are many ways that
volunteers make a difference. “They are at the heart
of so much of what we do,” states Julie Crockford.

“As a forestry buff, I love having the opportunity to
show volunteers how our tree management plan is
put into action. It helps them see their work as part
of the larger picture of maintenance and restoration
of the Emerald Necklace. Every invasive plant
removed and trash item picked up is a step closer
to a healthier, more resilient urban forest.”

Park events that brought
people together in 2015
Summer on the Emerald Necklace
In 2015, more than 2,600 people attended Summer on the Emerald
Necklace, the Conservancy’s free outdoor music series that featured
performances by the Metropolitan Wind Symphony, Boston Opera
Collaborative, Aphrolove and ensembles of the Boston Landmarks
Orchestra and the Longwood Symphony. A pre-concert supervised play
space, set up with lawn games and tot activities, appealed to both the
young and young-at-heart.
Party in the Park
A picture-perfect day served as backdrop to the
12th annual Party in the Park held at Pinebank
Promontory overlooking Jamaica Pond. The
768 guests, many in millinery splendor, came
together in support of the Justine Mee Liff Fund
and to honor Mark Volpe, managing director of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as the 2015
recipient of the Liff Spirit Award.
Party-goers were treated to a musical
performance provided by the BSO and a surprise
announcement that Ropes & Gray would be
commemorating its 150th anniversary by
making a gift of 150 trees to be planted along the
parkways of the Emerald Necklace.

The Emerald Necklace Conservancy is a non-profit founded
in 1998 to maintain, restore and protect the parks of the
Emerald Necklace designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The
historic parks under the Emerald Necklace Conservancy’s
stewardship stretch from the Back Bay Fens through
Brookline into Dorchester. The 1,100 acres of inviting
green space connect people to the parks just as Mr.
Olmsted intended when he designed it more than 100
years ago. The Conservancy works in collaboration with its
public partners: Boston Parks & Recreation, Brookline Parks
and Open Space, and the Massachusetts Department of
Conservation and Recreation.
