Interested in helping guide the Forest Park Conservancy (FPC) and our work to improve the park and surrounding lands? You could become part of one of our committees.

FPC has seven committees. Committees are composed of FPC staff, board members, and community members. Together, these committees help provide FPC staff with support and feedback on matters such as public outreach, financial planning, and more. If you want to volunteer some of your professional expertise to FPC this is a great way to help support our work!
