The friends groups.
Friends groups are the people behind the scenes. They pull weeds, fix trails, raise money, and keep neighbors involved long after the big volunteer day is over.
Friends of Peregrine
Stewarding the 384 acres of Blodgett Open Space since 2001. They've helped the city buy adjacent land multiple times, expanding the open space and protecting wildlife corridors.
Guardians of Palmer Park
Founded in 2009 by neighbors inspired by their love for the park. They handle trail maintenance, organize cleanups, and fight to keep the park funded.
Friends of Ute Valley
Formed in 2012 when the City had an opportunity to expand the park. FUVP raised $110,000 in just 3.5 months to ensure the purchase of an additional 205 acres of beloved open space.

Have one free day that weekend? That's enough. Every Friends group needs people who show up and want to make a difference.
