Fort Custer Horse Friends Association’s works to maintain the trails and advocates for equestrians in the park.
We love meeting like-minded riders for fun and fellowship.
In 2019 a total of 1,773.25 volunteer hours (for a total value to the park of $44,480.00) were spent on diverse projects and purchases for the park including picket poles at the Special Events Camping Area and for the new permanent camping sites.Â
In the past few years we erected a pavilion at our staging area, installed an equipment shed to facilitate our workdays, created equestrian camping sites, added corrals and covers to 3 of the campsites, and installed an outhouse at the special events area where we hold our campouts. Volunteer time is also spent mowing, chain sawing, and setting up the campout area for our special events. We have purchased our own mower and DR and trailers to haul them to and from the park. Volunteers use their own equipment as well.
Future projects include maintaining footing at the creek crossings and a boundary fence around the staging area water pump. Our funds come from member dues, donations, campout fees and auction, and through former Pfizer employees volunteer grants.
