The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees) is pleased to announce that Conrad Crawford has joined the organization as Director of the Boston Region.
Formerly the Director of External Affairs and Partnerships for the Department of Conservation and Recreation, Crawford is an avid supporter of conservation, recreation, and healthy living. In his new role, Crawford will lead The Trustees’ many community-based initiatives to promote open space protection, outdoor recreation, and community gardening among Greater Boston residents and visitors, using organization’s urban gardens, pocket parks, greenways and farmers markets located throughout the city as a platform. In addition, he will oversee the organization’s programming partnership with the Boston Public Market, directing a staff of educators and programming partners in providing a diverse array of educational classes, tours, and workshops throughout the year in the market’s demonstration kitchen.
Crawford joins The Trustees after seven years at the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Commonwealth’s state parks agency, where he first served as Director of Partnerships and then became the Director of the Office of External Affairs in 2013. While there, he oversaw agency policies and relations with external non-profit, corporate, and institutional partners, strengthening the DCR’s relations with park advocacy organizations, stakeholders, and constituents.
