About The Friends

Founded in 1999, the “Friends”, a Citizens Support Organization (CSO), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose function is to generate and employ additional resources to support Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. This is done through special work projects, events and programs, community outreach, educational activities, guided tours and communications, interpretive programs, fundraising activities, the purchase of new equipment and supplies, and by providing assistance to the park staff as needed.
