Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

PPFF'S MISSION IS TO INSPIRE STEWARDSHIP OF PENNSYLVANIA'S STATE PARKS AND FORESTS.

  • IN 2022, THE THEME OF THE FOUNDATION WAS CLEAN WATER. WHAT BETTER TIME THAN DURING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT AS A RESULT OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT, PENNSYLVANIA'S FORESTRY COMMISSION WAS FORMED OUT OF THE NEED TO PROTECT WATER QUALITY BY REFORESTATION, AND LAND WAS ACQUIRED TO PROTECT WATERSHEDS. TREES, AND FORESTS, STILL SERVE THIS VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF REDUCING FLOODING, PREVENTING EROSION, AND ALLOWING WATER TO FILTRATE THROUGH SOIL. ONE WAY WE SHARED THIS STORY WAS WITH THE PRODUCTION OF A NEW VIDEO; FORESTS, CLEAN WATER AND CRAFT BEVERAGES WE ALSO FORMED A PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW TRAIL BREWING TO PLANT TREES WITH FUNDS BEING RAISED THROUGH THE SALE OF THE REPLENISH IPA. AND PLANT TREES WE DID THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF MEMBERS AND DONORS, AND FUNDING FROM THE REPLENISH IPA, WE PLANTED 992 TREES ACROSS THE STATE. NOT ONLY DOES WATER BENEFIT FROM TREES, BUT WILDLIFE AND HUMANS DO TOO. WHO DOESN'T ENJOY SITTING IN THE SHADE ON A HOT DAY ADVOCATING FOR PARKS, FORESTS AND RECREATION IS AN IMPORTANT ROLE THAT PPFF PLAYS IN CONSERVING PARKS AND FORESTS AND LEVERAGING FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE NEEDS. IN 2022, PPFF WAS SUCCESSFUL IN HELPING TO SECURE 75 MILLION IN AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDING TO ADDRESS CRITICAL MAINTENANCE NEEDS. THE PENNSYLVANIA PARKS AND FORESTS FOUNDATION AND FRIENDS CHAPTERS ADVANCE THE MISSION OF INSPIRING STEWARDSHIP OF STATE PARKS AND FORESTS. IN 2022, WE COLLECTIVELY HOSTED: 168 SERVICE PROJECTS 167 SPECIAL EVENTS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS REACHING 71,848 3,402 VOLUNTEERS WHO PROVIDED 41,671 HOURS OF SERVICE THE VALUE OF THIS VOLUNTEERISM IS WORTH MORE THAN 1,248,000.
