The Detroit RiverFront Conservancy is a Detroit-based nonprofit organization focused on improving public access to the Detroit International Riverfront. It envisions a 5.5-mile corridor from the Ambassador Bridge to Gabriel Richard Park, featuring a continuous RiverWalk along with parks, plazas, and green spaces. When completed, the Conservancy would be responsible for improving, operating, maintaining, and programming the riverfront in perpetuity. As the steward of a major urban waterfront, it serves residents and visitors by delivering enduring public amenities and programming along the riverfront. In 2024, the organization appointed Rachel Frierson as vice president of operations and programming, a leadership change aligned with advancing its initiatives.
