Our Mission

The mission of the Sandy Springs Conservancy is to create, conserve, and connect parks, trails and greenspace. The Conservancy brings together stakeholders, builds partnerships, and provides funding to jump-start projects throughout the city for the benefit of all. The goal is to leave our community a greener place for the enjoyment of generations to come.

Why It’s Important

Parks, trails and greenspace are increasingly more valuable amenities in communities, attracting residents and employers. We see parks as key investments because they increase property values, create a strong sense of place and community, enhance physical and mental health, improve air, land, and water quality.
