Mission Statement
Friends of Edgewood engages in land and wildlife stewardship, nature education, and interpretive programs that support Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve in Redwood City, California. Our mission is to protect Edgewood’s extraordinary biodiversity and foster lasting connections with Edgewood and the larger natural world.
Description
Established in 1993 as a direct consequence of Edgewood’s designation as a Natural Preserve, the Friends of Edgewood is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 public benefit corporation funded 100% by membership dues and donations and sales proceeds. Our federal EIN (Employer Identification Number) is 94-3188191. Our key programs are year-round docent-led interpretive walks, including Junior Explorer walks for young people, strong support of habitat restoration at Edgewood led by the California Native Plant Society, and responsibility for operating the Education Center. We’ve also adopted a stretch of I-280 alongside Edgewood where we perform monthly trash clean-up for Caltrans.
