On April 4th, 2023, the FPDR (Forest Park Development and Restoration) Board held their monthly meeting to discuss current and upcoming projects, updates on fundraising efforts, and community outreach initiatives.

The first order of business was a report from the board’s treasurer on the current financial status of the organization. It was reported that there had been a slight dip in donations from the previous month but overall, they were still on track to meet their fundraising goals for the year. The board then discussed ways to further incentivize donations and increase outreach efforts to reach a wider audience.

Next on the agenda was a discussion on the status of ongoing restoration projects within the park, including the rehabilitation of trails, replanting of native species, and the installation of new signage. The board reported that progress was being made and that they were currently working with local volunteers and conservation organizations to continue these efforts.

One of the most significant topics of discussion was the proposal to build a new nature center within the park. The board discussed the feasibility of the project and how it could help support the educational and conservation efforts within the community. They also discussed potential partnerships with local schools and universities to help fund and provide programming for the center.

The board also discussed the importance of promoting increased visitation to the park and how that could help with fundraising and community engagement efforts. They discussed hosting more events and programming within the park, including guided nature hikes, bird-watching tours, and educational workshops for local residents.

Finally, the board touched on the importance of addressing the challenges of climate change and finding ways to mitigate its impact within the park. The board discussed potential partnerships with local climate action organizations to help advocate for sustainable policies and practices within the larger community.

Overall, the FPDR Board meeting proved to be fruitful, with productive discussions on ongoing projects, fundraising strategies, community partnerships, and future initiatives. The organization’s commitment to preserving and improving the Forest Park community continues to stay strong, and with the support of local residents and organizations, they are positioned to make an even greater impact in the years to come.
