Friends of Lick Creek Park (FOLCP) was established by a group of Brazos Valley residents in 2010 after the citizens of College Station approved a 2008 bond election for the construction of a nature center at Lick Creek Park. Today, we work with the City of College Station to help maintain the park and nature center and to increase its value for the widest spectrum of uses and users, compatible with its continued existence as a viable nature preserve. The mission of Friends of Lick Creek Park is to promote public awareness of Lick Creek Park and provide resources and facilities enhancing educational and recreational uses of the park. In order to meet our mission, we have created a Lick Creek Park Science Advisory Committee who look to work closely with the Parks Operation Division to focus its efforts on preserving the biodiversity of the park. Additionally, we aim to create an education committee that will focus on fully supporting the nature center and all educational programs within the park. These groups are made up of local citizens and will provide guidance and support to the city in each of their respective fields of expertise. To that end, we have been collecting annual dues and donations in addition to selling organization t-shirts for the past eight years and plan to use these monies for the sole purpose of supporting the park and nature center to meet our mission. To help aid us in our mission of supporting you, we formally ask for the following items: Friends of %Itt.,, Lick Creek Park tolcsparwc@gmail.com h iendsoflickci eekpark.woi dpr ess.com • Storage space in the Lick Creek Nature Center • Access to the Lick Creek Nature Center for bi-monthly meetings plus additional meetings as the need arises (these will always be scheduled through your appointed representative ahead of time) • A representative of the Parks Operation Division to join our Lick Creek Park Science Advisory Committee • A representative of the Recreation Division to join our education committee We thank you for your continued commitment to preserving natural green spaces and providing educational programs for the citizens of College Station and the surrounding community.
