Where We Are
Friends groups form for a variety of reasons. Perhaps most importantly, it is a means by which people can make a difference in their local community by making their favorite park or forest the best that it can be. Far more is accomplished working together than individually, and the synergy of a group can be a powerful force for betterment. To find out more about how to start a friends group click here.
