Conservation Corps North Bay's Environmental Stewardship Award Honors Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy President & CEO Greg Moore

Conservation Corps North Bay’s Environmental Stewardship Award, named for its first recipient, Pamela Wright Lloyd, is presented to a person or an organization that has demonstrated an exemplary commitment to environmental stewardship and works towards passing on knowledge, energy and promise to the next generation.  This year’s awardee is Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy President & CEO Greg Moore.

Greg Moore has served as the top executive of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy since 1985. The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with the National Park Service and Presidio Trust to preserve and enhance the Golden Gate National Parks. Under Moore’s leadership, the Parks Conservancy has become one of the most successful nonprofit organizations supporting any area of the national park system, providing nearly $300 million in support to park projects and programs since the Conservancy’s establishment in 1981. During his tenure, the Parks Conservancy has received numerous national awards for excellence in interpretation, conservation, and park improvement efforts.

Early in Moore’s career, he served in various planning, management, and interpretation capacities with the National Park Service and other public agencies focusing on conservation, protected areas, and parks. His work has often centered on partnership development among the public, nonprofit, and private sectors.
