The Mission: To develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities for the State of Texas.
Dave Mainz charter member of Tierra Grande started The Friends of Davis Mountains State Park initiative in 2012 which continues to be active supporting the park in many ways. One work day morning each week working on various park projects.
Anyone is welcome to turn out and help with park projects. It is always collegial, fun, sometimes a little snarky but very satisfying….”job well done kind of thing”. Learners and experts are all welcome. Work mornings start at 8am, maybe 9 ending 11:30 – 12 or so when the weather is expected to be generally nice.
If you are interested contact Dave: dlmainz76@gmail.com you won’t be sorry.

New more secure donation boxes at the DMSP Ice locations. DMSP Friends group raises funds for the park via donations and other means. These metal boxes were made (with some gentle arm twisting from Dave) by his daughter Diane who is a rock star Metal Art Artist. Check her out: purpleanvil.com
