What is Friends of Georgia State Parks?
The mission of Friends is to partner with, promote and preserve Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites. Statewide, Friends works to raise awareness of the economic and intrinsic values of Georgia's greatest treasures. We work with state and community leaders to help make sure that our natural and cultural resources are well protected, well maintained and well preserved for generations to come.
At the local level, more than 50 chapters work with their respective sites to support individual projects and programs, raising funds to support local projects and programs that help make our parks and historic sites some of the best in the nation.
