Friends of the Country Parks

The Friends of the Country Parks (FoCP) is a non-profit making organization. It was established in 1992 by current and ex- members of the Country Parks Committee, and other enthusiasts. Administrative expenses of FoCP are entirely absorbed by members themselves, and income is used entirely in promotional activities of the Country Parks. The objectives of FoCP are to promote the development of Country Parks and encourage the general public to make wise use of our natural countryside resources. FoCP is a vital non-government partner of our Country Parks activities. In 1995, FoCP sponsored over 10 millions for the development of the Wilson Trail. In 2000, FoCP helped a number of corporations to establish their ¡§Corporate Forests¡¨ in the Country Parks. In recent years, FoCP has produced a series of the ¡§Eyes on Nature¡¨ publications, which have been well received by the general public. From 2003 to 2005, sponsors from FoCP in various Country Parks activities reached over a million. Sponsored items included hiking activities, publications, website designs, etc
