Just recently, Freshwater Park recieved a grant from the state Parkways Grant Program. The $271,000 grant will be used to create a cutting edge fish ladder for the dam, as well as revamping the entire park.
See the whole story from the Times-Standard...
The community of Freshwater would benefit immensely by having an adjacent stand of Old Growth trees. The Fern Gully Treesit is on it's fifth year of protecting one the only stands left of old growth left in Freshwater, only one year until the timber harvest plan expires. But what will happen to the grove after the plan expires?
Imagine hiking through a lush grove of Old Growth trees, right next to the town of Freshwater. You may say, "I didn't know that there are any Old Growth trees left on private property and so close to civilization". Fern Gully is an exceptional exception. Contact Fern Gully in Freshwater to find out how you can help.

hey, a park is cool. What do locals of FW think?
Not sure, some are for us, some hate us. Everyone should be for a park though, don't you think. Imagine an old growth park in Freshwater...
