Friends of Woods Park Work Parties
Founded in September 2002, Friends of Woods Park (FoWP) is working to enhance stream health and to give people better ways to enjoy the park. Our projects have included: planting thousands of native trees, shrubs, and other flora, controlling invasive plants, implementing and maintaining a planned trail system, including bridges and turnpikes. Check out the website.
Work parties are every 4th Saturday we skip July and August, and possibly December and January.
