About The New Haven Green Conservancy

The New Haven Green Conservancy, formed in 2025, is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the historical and cultural significance of The New Haven Green, one of the city’s most iconic public spaces. As a National Historic Landmark, The Green is not just a park, but a central gathering place where community, culture, and history intersect.

The Conservancy is committed to maintaining The Green’s beauty, fostering community engagement, and ensuring that this treasured public space remains a place for recreation, reflection, and cultural expression. With its rich history dating back to the earliest days of New Haven’s settlement, The Green is not only a symbol of the city’s past but also a dynamic space for modern life. Through its stewardship, the Conservancy helps organize events, implement preservation efforts, and collaborate with local organizations to keep The Green a lively and cherished part of the New Haven community. The work of the Conservancy ensures that The Green will continue to serve as a space where residents, visitors, and future generations can connect with each other and with the city’s history.
