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.
