“Civic responsibility” means actively participating in the public life of a community in an informed, committed, and constructive manner, with a focus on the common good.
At PPFF, we believe that an active love of the outdoors goes hand-in-hand with service as an active voice for the places that bring us fulfillment. That’s why speaking out in support of the state parks and forests is the very core of our mission.
You can DEFINITELY be a part of that mission. Learn more about the Protect Our Parks and Forests initiative devoted to finding a solution to the maintenance and improvement needs across the parks and forests system.

A poll conducted on behalf of PPFF in the Spring of 2022 revealed the near universal support Pennsylvanians have for their state parks and forests. Funding them through the American Rescue Plan funds allocated to the Commonwealth offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to regain some of the ground lost in recent decades.
