Mark your calendars for our 2016 Friends of Glen Providence Park events, including nature walks, volunteer days, citizen science, and events for kids! We also have regular Invasive Plant Removal days, and our Summer Afternoon Concert Series!

As we post details for each month, we will link to that event with information and logistics.  All events are free, family-friendly, and open to the public – we hope to see you in the park!
