Our Mission is to enhance the Yellow River State Forest for public use while protecting the integrity of the flora, fauna, soil and water.

VOLUNTEER DAYS

Are one of our main tasks in making our state forest even more beautiful! Activities may include painting campsite marker posts and gazebos, along with cutting, splitting and stacking firewood.

ANOTHER…

is the EVENTS such as: Annual 5K and 10K Trail Run/Walk and Half-marathon, Annual Campfire/Cast Iron Cooking in the Campground, International Dark Sky destination, Music in the Forest & “Paint the Park” event with  Midwest singer, songwriter and artist Chad Elliot, Annual Free Concert.

AND…

FofYRSF have worked with YRSF staff to purchase and plant more than 70 trees in the Big Paint, Little Paint, Creekside and Frontier campgrounds!,

FofYRSF recently purchased two First Aid/ Trauma Bags, one for Resource Technician and the seasonal patrol officers to carry in their vehicles, and one for the camp hosts, to have at their site. These kits will allow for better emergency care until local EMS arrives.

These are just some of the many ways Friends of Yellow River State Forest help make the forest and campgrounds a better, and safer, place to visit. Friends of YRSF is a 501(c)3, all funds raised by the organization are invested back into this place we all love.
