Upcoming Meetings/Events at Rock Bridge Memorial State Park!
NEWS: As we enter the second week of the CoMoGives campaign, I just wanted you to know FoRB works with a variety of organizations to present nature-based educational programs through the Underserved Populations Outreach Program (UPOP).
Downtown Optimists and Missouri Parks Association are co-sponsors of our programs.
Master Naturalists help present the programs.
We’ve worked with organizations such as Fun City Youth Academy, Moving Ahead (within Columbia Housing Authority), Coyote Hill, UCP Heartland Child Development Center, City of Refuge, Armory Sports & Recreation Center, Boys and Girls Club and Centro Latino to provide programs to the participants they serve.
In addition to UPOP, FoRB also conducts nature-based educational programs for 2- to 5-year-olds (and their caregivers) through our Nature Detectives. These programs are open to everyone.
FoRB participates in the CoMoGives campaign to raise funds to be able to continue to provide these programs. The first of three “Power Hours” is Thursday, December 12th from 4:00 to 7:00 PM.
