The Riverwood Conservancy is a volunteer- and member-based charity that provides programs and services to the community in nature and environmental education, stewardship of Riverwood, and gardening and horticulture.

The organization was founded in 1985 under the name Mississauga Garden Council. In 2009, the name was changed to The Riverwood Conservancy to better reflect our mission and activities.
