Members Enjoy Fall Fun and Behind-the-Scenes Tours

Forest Park Forever members enjoy our annual Member Appreciation event on October 25

Members help make our nonprofit conservancy’s work possible, and Forest Park Forever hosts a Member Appreciation event each fall to show our gratitude and give members an inside look at that work.

On October 25, hundreds gathered on a picture-perfect autumn day to enjoy live music from Fox Creek Band, seasonal snacks and drinks, a festive fall photobooth, lawn games, family-friendly activities and behind-the-scenes tours led by Forest Park Forever experts.

Members got a sneak peek of the nearly completed renovation at the Boathouse and learned about maintenance and repairs of the historic Nathan Frank Bandstand in Pagoda Circle. Guests also learned about the landscape design of a section of the Taylor Kindle River, which now extends all the way to Jefferson Lake.

Our Land Management team brought heavy equipment and tools, giving kids—and adults—the chance to “check out our trucks.” Forest Park Forever Education team members and staff from The Muny, Saint Louis Zoo, Saint Louis Art Museum and Missouri History Museum shared details about their work and created fun activities for attendees. And authors of new books commemorating Forest Park’s 150th anniversary were on hand to share their extensive knowledge of Park history!
