In 1995, Boston Natural Areas Network started the Greenways to Boston Harbor program -
working with community residents and public officials to create the Neponset River
and East Boston Greenways. These innovative effort undertaken with the voluntary citizen
councils for each Greenway facilitate the development of a voluntary neighborhood
strategy for preserving the scenic, natural, historic, cultural and recreational resources
while encouraging compatible economic development and land use.

The Greenways traverse along remarkably diverse neighborhoods, opening up the network
of open space, trails and recreation opportunities to Boston’s inner city population.
