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.

Create

Parks, Greenspace and Trails Create a strong sense of place and community. SSC identifies opportunities and works with the city of Sandy Springs and community stakeholders to create new amenities.

 

Conserve

Conserving natural resources improves air, land, and water quality. The Sandy Springs Conservancy supports and sponsors programs that promote and enhance natural resources in the form of educational, technical, and financial assistance.

 

Connect

Connecting people to nature inspires health and wellness and encourage social interaction. Trails are important to connect neighborhoods and places of employment to greenspace amenities and connect with existing trails in neighboring communities.
