PRESERVE. PROTECT. SUPPORT.
No matter how science changes over the next decades, human health will always be tied to the health of
our surrounding environment.
The Ellanor C. Lawrence Park Friends group works with thoughtful intention to support park initiatives and activities that help protect and preserve our park ... and our planet.
PARKTOBERFEST!
Walk, run, bike, hike, drive to live music, cold brews, to food, fun, and friends,!
AWARENESS, EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
ECL Park Friends will devise and implement communications plans and strategies for promoting park events, as well as create campaigns that inform and reinforce how individuals can help protect our park and our planet. We will create grassroots projects that get attention and earned media.
FOCUS AREAS
FUNDRAISING
ECL Park Friends will create opportunities for corporate sponsorships and partnerships as well as develop, design and implement dedicated campaigns for fundraising. We will hold benefit events at the park and will research grant and crowd funding opportunities.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
ECL Park Friends will work with educators to develop curricula and projects that promote environmental education and awareness. We will work to secure grants for summer programs and develop and design materials, as needed.
