Our Roots Run Deep!

Black Hills Parks and Forests Association provides key funding to our public land partners. For over 75 years our funding has helped alleviate budgetary shortfalls and enables the dedicated public servants to extend more educational and recreational opportunities to more people than they otherwise would be able to. We can’t do this all by ourselves, our donors make it possible to fill in the gaps left by federal funding. If you would like to learn more about how BHPFA supporters assist our partners, consider becoming an annual member or giving a monthly donation.
