Our Mission:
We assist cities, towns and other government entities in their efforts to improve and better utilize parks and unused or under-utilized public lands and green spaces in environmentally sound ways. We do this by raising funds through grants, fundraising and license fees and leases, using the money to repair, improve and beautify parks and recreational areas. We then share excess funds with our affiliated non-profit organizations and charities.
