Our Year in Review 2022
We have a role for you!
This group is a perfect outlet for your creative energy! There are a wide variety of opportunities to put your skills to work for our state parks. Whether you're a trail maintainer, a wildlife expert, a clerical professional, a handy person, an event organizer, or one of those special people who say, "Put me to work wherever you need me." We have something for you!
Your special affinity for a specific park or forest means that a PPFF chapter friends group is the perfect outlet for your creative energy. Friends are people like you who volunteer their time, services and support to our state parks and forests. Chapters form for a variety of reasons but all understand the value of their state park or forest and share a common goal to make that park or forest the best in the commonwealth.
Every year, friends groups provide tens of thousands of volunteer hours working to improve and enhance state parks and forests. Friends groups connect people to the natural places of Pennsylvania while enhancing the role of public lands in local communities.
We will happily welcome you with open arms and a task or two of your very own!
