State Park Friends - People with Passion for Parks
Friends organizations are essential to the stewardship and promotion of our state park system. These nonprofit organizations—oftentimes made up entirely of volunteers—clear trails, paint buildings, build kiosks, lead interpretive programs, and raise significant money for capital projects.
These volunteer groups have a large impact, accounting for more than $17 million in fundraising to benefit their respective parks in 2018, according to our recent report. That was on top of nearly 132,000 hours of work done by more than 5,100 volunteers that was valued at more than $3 million.
By building a community of park supporters, we can ensure that New York's parks and conservation legacy remains intact. To explore the work of a particular Friends group that supports one of New York's 215 state parks and historic sites, check out this map or follow one of the links below.
