Membership in Friends of Baxter State Park is a wonderful way to show your support for Baxter State Park, and to ensure that the Park forever remains the spectacular wilderness area that it is today. As a grassroots citizen organization, our members are part of everything we do. Membership dues support our advocacy work, volunteer programs, youth programs, publications, search and rescue, and scientific research, and also provide critical support to trail projects in the Park. Friends of Baxter State Park is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and membership dues are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
