Friends Gather At Statewide Conference

Thank you to all the Friends group affiliates that attended the Friends of the Parks conference. Parks & Trails New York (PTNY), in collaboration with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, Historic Preservation (OPRHP), is proud to have hosted this event at which Friends groups and parks staff could engage and learn.

State parks and historic sites from across the state were represented by OPRHP staff and Friends groups. Attendees joined together for informative sessions on fundraising, board development, social media, grants, diversity, and much more. Guests also had ample opportunities to network and have productive conversations.

The conference may be over but, Friends groups can still benefit from the event through resources:

Thank you to our conference sponsors CHA Consulting Inc. and Barton & Loguidice, the presenters and facilitators, and most importantly, – you! - the Friends groups.

Together, we can continue to enhance New York’s system of parks, open space and public lands. PTNY continues to strive to support the exceptional network and connections of those who love and care for the state’s parks.

Wish you had attended the conference? Let us know how we can make sure that doesn’t happen again – take our survey!
