Volunteer in Friends of Clark Reservation State Park

to preserve, protect, and promote the natural beauty and ecological significance of Clark Reservation. Through nature education, community engagement, and collaborative partnerships, we strive to inspire appreciation for the park’s unique botany, geology, and wildlife while fostering environmental stewardship for future generations.

The Friends of Clark Reservation State Park help maintain, preserve, and interpret the exquisite natural settings of Clark Reservation State Park of central New York. Originally known as the Council of Park Friends, the nonprofit organization was created in 1980 to promote appreciation of the Parks as educational resources.

Among the early trail blazers was Mildred Faust whose botany course at Syracuse University used Clark Reservation State Park as a classroom. She is honored today by a kiosk at Clark provided with the support of the Council of Park Friends.
