How Do I Join?

"To be a steward of our parks and forests means to leave no trace other than an occasional improvement that will enable others to enjoy the park as much as we have in the past." - Dave Spigelmyer, PPFF Board
Start a Friends Group
The Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation (PPFF) assists motivated citizens, businesses, and local organizations in forming partnerships and friends groups to support a state owned park, forest, natural area or other such entity. Working with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources (DCNR), the government agency with ultimate responsibility for these state lands, the PPFF will assist those interested in creating a partnership or friends group with a state park or forest.
