Providing educational opportunities for the community is the primary objective of the Friends of Dinosaur Park and Arboretum, Inc. By supporting the park staff and with the help of volunteers, the FDPA funds programs, events and exhibits that expand knowledge and understanding of the natural history revealed at Dinosaur State Park.
Who are the Friends?
The Friends of Dinosaur Park and Arboretum, Inc (FDPA) was established in 1976 to act as an advocate for protection and preservation of the trackway at Dinosaur State Park. The organization was Incorporated in 1987. The FDPA operates as a private, non-profit organization, 501(c)(3), governed by a board of directors. It is devoted to promoting a greater knowledge of the region's paleontology and natural history.
Our Board of Directors oversees the operation of the Museum Store, allocates funds for special projects, provides assistance to the staff and advocates the benefits of the park to the public, educators, the state legislature and the community. Because of our donors and all profits from the Museum Store, the FDPA is able to provide funding for special exhibits and programs.
Your generous donation directly supports and promotes educational programs and opportunities at Dinosaur State Park. Click here for additional information about supporting the FDPA.
