Support for The Nature Zone (Lynchburg Parks & Recreation)

Our organization is The Friends of Lynchburg Parks & Recreation (FLPR). We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, founded over 10 years ago. We advocate on behalf of Parks & Recreation and raise funds to support their projects and programs. One of these programs, the Nature Zone, recently was eliminated due to budget reductions by Lynchburg City Council. The Nature Zone offered live animal exhibits and hands-on activities, most recently at the Miller Center. They provided both on-site and outreach environmental education programs for children, families, civic organizations, teachers and the general public. The animals, who are housed at The Nature Zone, are still there until a plan can be developed for their future. The animals are being provided daily care, feeding, and veterinary care as needed. This Go Fund Me is raising money to help pay for the continued care of the animals. Our initial goal is $2,200. Thank you for your contribution!
