WHO WE ARE
The Friends of Ouabache State Park are stewards of our natural and cultural resources, serving our community to provide interpretation and volunteer opportunities in an effort to remember past contributions and to promote and preserve our park for future generations
The Friends of Ouabache was established in March 2012. The Friends grew to become a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2015, making donations tax-deductible.
WHAT WE DO
HONOR THE PAST
The Friends of Ouabache State Park values the history of the park. Our history committee is active in promoting and preserving the park’s past, from its origins at the CCC camp to today’s activities.
PROMOTE THE PRESENT
All funds acquired through membership and fundraising go directly to the park. The Friends supply not only financial help but also manpower through volunteers for events and daily maintenance.
PRESERVE THE FUTURE
The Friends conduct promotional programs as well as the Junior/Teen Indiana Master Naturalist camps. We assist in the interpretive programs at the park and offer educational programs through Nature Lovers Lunch and Learn.
