We are so grateful to everyone who donated to Friends of For-Mar this year! Your support allowed us to give $20,000 back to For-Mar Nature Preserve & Arboretum for birding programs, field trip transportation, and staff professional development.

From our inaugural For-Mar at Night event to expanding park programming, you've made it all possible. See you on the trails in 2026! 🌲

Next time you're at For-Mar Nature Preserve & Arboretum, check out the Pebble Harp - newly installed in the Garden Exploration Space with funding from Friends of For-Mar. A Pebble Harp is a musical play element where pebbles create random, soothing tones by cascading over metal strings.

In August we held our first big event at For-Mar Nature Preserve & Arboretum. Thanks to everyone who attended or sponsored For-Mar at Night: A Wine Walk with Friends. With your help we raised $4,200 to support a new dock at Groundwater Pond! We appreciate your support and hope you will join us for our next Wine Walk in 2026. More details to come.
