Welcome to Massachusetts Forest and Park Friends Network!
Massachusetts Forest and Park Friends Network is an independent grassroots organization of friends groups working together to better protect and enhance Massachusetts’ state forests and urban parks.
We serve as volunteers for the benefit of forests and parks throughout the Commonwealth—protecting ecosystems, conserving historic resources and encouraging sustainable recreational activities. By sharing knowledge, communicating with one another and working together friends groups can become more effective advocates for public lands.
If you do not belong to a friends group, consider joining one or starting one. We are here to help! If you do belong to a friends group, please join us. We need your expertise to help guide new friends groups.
