Thanks for visiting the Friends of Yellow Creek website. FOYC formed in April, 2010 – a chapter of the Pa Parks and Forests Foundation (PPFF). PPFF is a private, non-profit organization that works to develop resources which complement the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).
1. Improve the resources at the park to attract more visitors and/or increase the value of the park.
2. Raise funds for park improvements.
3. Promote the use of green recreation.
4. Increase the visitors at the park by raising public awareness about the value of the park and the resources and activities available.
5. Promote programming at the park by supporting existing groups as well as supplementing with programs where needed.
The Friends will be a membership-based organization with an individual membership starting at $12 and a family membership of $15. Members will receive information and special benefits.
You can expect to see major changes to this website in the coming weeks. Let us know how you’d like to be involved!
We are happy to announce that FOYC has been able to borrow mountain bikes for Septemberfest. Bring your own or borrow one of ours and explore some of the best single-track biking trails in the region!
