Supporting the Conservation Efforts and Recreational Value of Anastasia State Park
The Friends of Anastasia State Park, a dedicated Citizen Support Organization (CSO), enhances the visitor experience and the long-term stewardship of Anastasia State Park. Through close collaboration with park staff, the organization works to preserve the park’s natural beauty, protect its wildlife, and enrich the recreational opportunities.
Their support ranges from assisting rangers with day-to-day needs, purchasing native plants for habitat restoration, and funding educational materials, to helping coordinate community events and strengthening volunteer engagement. These efforts ensure that the park’s facilities remain inviting, informative, and accessible to all who visit.
Those who choose to support the organization are often individuals who recognize the park’s unique ecological value and want to ensure that it remains protected and enjoyable for generations.
