Who We Are

The Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation is a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting Tennessee’s natural treasures. We were established in 1998 as the result of a merger between the Tennessee State Parks Foundation and the Tennessee Greenways Program of The Conservation Fund. 

The Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation has a lean professional staff and is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors made up of prominent citizens, businessmen, elected officials, park professionals and others committed to the cause of conservation of Tennessee’s lands and waters.

We believe the identification, preservation, and protection of the most ecologically-rich, historically-significant, and incredibly beautiful places in Tennessee is vital to protecting wildlife, improving water and air quality, providing close-to-home recreation opportunities, and creating sustainable communities and regions.

Our vision is to create a network of parks, greenways, and wildlife areas across Tennessee that promotes quality of life and links people to their natural and cultural heritage. The Foundation has three strategies to accomplish this vision.  We:

• Conserve Tennessee Treasures;

• Create greenway Corridor Connections; and

• Foster initiatives by others through Conservation Education and Advocacy

By working together, we can make this happen.  Please explore the ideas and information here on our web site. If you do not find what you are looking for, please contact us for personal assistance.
