​The Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation began in 1999 as a statewide nonprofit organization to provide a voice for the Commonwealth’s 124 state parks and 2.2 million acres of forest land.

Our state parks and forests are the heartbeat of our Commonwealth. They're not just natural wonders; they're vital for our well-being and local economies. That's where the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation steps in.

They rally volunteers, raise funds, and advocate for these precious lands. Join the movement to preserve and enjoy our outdoor treasures.
