Matching Grant to Benefit Park Stewardship

FHHP is pleased to announce a Matching Grant to support stewardship in the park.

An anonymous donor will match dollar-for-dollar all donations to the FHHP-Stewardship Fund up to $10,000. The goal is to raise $40,000 to fund longterm restoration and conservation efforts in the park and in the Dickens Preserve. Stewardship activities include prairie reconstruction, woodland and streambank restoration, and invasive species control.

To have your donation matched, please contribute to FHHP-LEAF before July 30, 2010.
