Membership in Friends of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park

The Friends of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park (FoRB is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 1992 to promote understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the natural and cultural resources of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park and to aid in the preservation of the park.

 Some of our current members were part of a group of Columbians that raised the original funds to preserve the land as a state park in 1962. Today our members, over 200 of us, put our mission into action through volunteer service, fundraising, educational programs, and advocacy.
