Friends of East Rock Park is a community and environmental advocacy group.  We encourage neighbors to meet each other, celebrate the environment and become stewards of the park.  We build connections by hosting work days and social events, and supporting other neighborhood efforts.  All of our events are free and open to everyone.  Join us!  

 Our group was formed in 1982 and encompasses a vibrant community of people who live in and around New Haven, CT. We work together to support our local environment and to bring our neighbors and community together.

Volunteers help us maintain and improve East Rock Park in a variety of ways. We organize park cleanups, tree and daffodil planting, and educational events such as bird watching and identification.
