Friends Groups
At the core of PPFF's mission is the creation of new, and support of existing, friends groups to build the capacity of volunteers in Pennsylvania's state parks and forests. Our 21 chapters across the state contribute thousands of hours of volunteer time each year to help ensure that park and forest visitors have a quality experience.
"Friends groups are the champions of our state parks and forests. Through stewardship and promotional activities, they inspire others to cherish and protect these special places. Their work is invaluable." -DCNR Secretary Michael DiBerardinis
