Event Description:
Support Indiana State Parks by joining a Friends Group
Support your local Indiana State Park by joining one of its many Friends group. Individuals in Friends groups provide a unique support system for DNR properties. Friends help with events, work on trails, fundraise for specific projects and offer other financial support for the purchase of equipment, supplies or other materials as needed.
"It is wonderful to see these groups grow throughout our DNR properties," said Jody Heaston, volunteer coordinator for State Parks. "When the individuals in the group put their passions together for the outdoors it equals amazing results for the visitor's enjoyment of that property."
Links to each State Park Friends group are at stateparks.IN.gov/2442.htm.
If you are interested in helping to start a friends group for your favorite state park or reservoir property, contact the property office. You will need a core group of individuals who can work hard; serve as the initial officers; coordinate articles of incorporation; establish non-profit status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS); publicize and support the group's organization the first few years. There is time and energy involved, but it can be a rewarding effort! |
