The Charles River Conservancy (CRC) is a nonprofit organization operating in the civic and social sector, founded in 2000 and based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with 11-50 employees. Its mission is to engage communities and catalyze solutions that enhance the Lower Charles River and its parks, making them more vibrant, healthy, and welcoming for current and future generations. CRC collaborates with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and other stakeholders to connect people with the river and its parklands, deliver projects, and advocate for active community participation. The Conservancy oversees efforts along about 10 miles of the Charles River Reservation in Boston, Cambridge, and Watertown, MA, a corridor near which more than 300,000 urban residents live and that attracts over one million visitors. The organization maintains a presence at 43 Thorndike Street S3-3, Cambridge, MA 02141, and its online home is thecharles.org.
