ABOUT FRIENDS OF GARNER
We are the Friends of Garner.
For those who float the river all day and dance all night...
For those who hike the trails...
For those who appreciate outdoor beauty and wildlife...
For those who return year after year...
We are the Friends of Garner.
For thousands of years, people have enjoyed the protection of the hills, the lushness of the land, the abundance of the animals, and the coolness of the Frio River... the same reasons we love it today.
We are the Friends of Garner.
We formed our non-profit organization solely to conserve and preserve your Garner State Park for generations through donations and activities.
