Pledge to make a difference, together.
The Friends have developed programs to help foster community involvement, educate the public about the wonders of the Park and the natural world, and to protect this precious resource. Our programs encourage people to respect the Park and take responsibility for its well-being. We encourage people to enjoy the Park through recreational activities, and provide ways for the community to contribute to an area that means so much to them.
Throughout the year we have special one-day events for people to enjoy. Last year, due to the flooding, we had over 750 people pitch in to help out. Our annual events include: Purge-the-Spurge Volunteers help “weed out” leafy spurge, a nasty invasive weed, at this one of a kind event. Tackle-the-Tansy and Battle-the-Burdock are new programs that the Friends are initiating this year. Invasive plants are becoming an increasing problem within the Park, squeezing out native vegetation and wildlife, and reducing biodiversity.
