Achievements
Our organization works to enhance the educational, recreational, and research opportunities in MacGregor Point Provincial Park. The Board of Directors is guided by our Core Values, the needs of the park and a five-year plan when making decisions for funding. After consultation with the park staff, priorities are set for each year.
Projects
Projects completed within the park have included infrastructure development or repairs, information boards and trail markers, and supporting trail development.
Programs
The Friends of MacGregor fund the purchase of equipment to support the Discovery Program. We continue to fund live animal shows, educational speakers and presenters. Your donations help us to continue with this work.
Environmental Initiatives
Our organization believes that we have a responsibility to provide environmental education and to promote and model environmental action. Our initiatives have included the funding of the removal of invasive phragmites and garlic mustard from some of the park shoreline and wetlands. We have provided materials and equipment to help control invasive species. Volunteers have built walkways and provided signage to protect our sand dunes. We are working to eliminate waste in our fundraising events. We have committed to several community science programs that will improve our knowledge of the variety of species inhabiting the park.
