Friends of the Eagan Core Greenway is a non-profit citizens' organization dedicated to the preservation of Eagan's expansive and environmentally sensitive open space. The group is located in Eagan, Minnesota, USA.

[The Eagan Core Greenway represents over 400 acres found along a two mile length of undeveloped, open space near the McCarthy Farm and between adjacent Patrick Eagan Park and Lebanon Hills Regional Park.]

The mission of Friends of the Eagan Core Greenway is to:
* Promote the protection of Patrick Eagan Park;
* Support the preservation of adjoining properties in their natural, undeveloped state, including the establishment of the Eagan Core Greenway;
* Raise funds for the acquisition of undeveloped neighboring parcels;
* Provide information to the community for a greater awareness and appreciation of Patrick Eagan Park, the Eagan Core Greenway, and all significant remaining local open space;
* Organize and encourage volunteer participation in Patrick Eagan Park and all local open space, while promoting stewardship and ecological studies;
* Reflect and represent the views of a multiplicity of local open space proponents;

As a charter member of the Eagan Open Space Coalition:
* Collaborate with other local environmentally minded groups and schools to strengthen our network of open space preservation resources.
* Foster communication between local open space preservation groups, the City of Eagan, Dakota County, and Minnesota's Dept. of Natural Resources in order to create partnerships and synergy to collectively succeed in preserving our remaining open space through means and measures that may be unavailable to individual entities on their own.
