Be a Friend
Why become a Friend of Clifty Falls State Park? To help preserve, educate, improve, and to enjoy!
You can “be a friend” of Clifty Falls State Park by:
becoming a member with a yearly or lifetime membership contribution,
making a general unrestricted donation,
making a donation for specific projects,
or just be getting involved in some of the park’s activities on your own or as a group.
The last item is important and it may not involve money. If your group is looking for a way to give back to the community and help the park, then look at some of the project/activities listed in the Activities/Events page and decide how you’d like to help. Maybe you have your own ideas? Contact us and let’s try to work something out. We have had both high school and college groups volunteer to work with Park Staff and Friends volunteers on projects including making bulletin boards, putting out bluebird nest boxes, retrofitting nature garden borders, as well as picking up trash and painting fences. What can you do? Contact us with ideas or a desire to help!
All donations are tax-deductible as we are 501(3)(c) non-profit.
