Friends Groups

Our friends groups play an invaluable role in helping to protect, preserve and promote their local state parks. These non-profit groups support parks in a variety of ways including fundraising, leading volunteer projects, conducting interpretive programs, planning special events and much more.

Friends groups vary widely in size and membership, but all share a special commitment to their favorite park. Everyone who has an interest in supporting Washington State Parks is welcome to join a Friends group!
