About Friends of OSP...The Friends of Oracle State Park is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 1997 to assist Oracle State Park in the promotion of environmental education, in the restoration and preservation of the historic Kannally Ranch House, and in the conservation and upkeep of the surrounding parklands and trails. In the wake of the Park’s closing in 2009, the Friends have now been asked to take on an even more vital role in helping the Park to reopen its gates and stay open. Specifically, the Friends have been tasked with raising one third of the Park’s operating budget per annum—or $21,000. To learn more, read a letter from FOSP President Cindy Krupicka (pdf). To achieve this end, the organization’s officers and members will work together to expand funding opportunities and sources, as well as to support the Park Rangers in their public education, outreach and park improvement efforts. As always, Members play a vital role in the work of FOSP. They attend meetings and contribute ideas, conduct tours, coordinate and help out at educational workshops and special events, maintain walking trails and gardens, and pitch in with upkeep and improvement projects.
