NEWS

The Parks Conservancy was front and center in a San Francisco Chronicle feature article, “Change of leaders at Bay Area parks conservancy signals view on the future.” The article highlights the tremendous park-building efforts during Greg’s tenure and Chris’ focus on our “For All” mission. It’s also a great recounting of the Parks Conservancy’s history with an eye toward our future vision. Enjoy!
