Friends of Goose Pond (FoGP) was established to support the goals of wildlife conservation and habitat restoration at Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area through environmental education, scientific research and recreational activities and programs.

We encourage you to browse our site, learn of our activities, and plan a visit to the area.  We are pleased at the success the wetland restoration has achieved in such a short time and are encouraged at the abundance of bird and wildlife species that are using the area.  Our activities include  Marsh Madness  scheduled for early spring in conjunction with the annual Sandhill Crane migration,  Community Birding Days, Wildflower Walks, Dove Hunts, School Field Trips, Clean up Days, a photo contest, hat sales and the annual Goose Pond Calendar.

Welcome to Friends of Goose Pond web site.  We look forward to sharing our site and our treasure with you!
