Our mission
The mission of the Friends of Nira Rock is to preserve and enhance Nira Rock Urban
Wild as a safe, beautiful and lasting sanctuary for wildlife and people alike.
To those ends:
- We promote respectful public use by improving site access, sponsoring regular social
events, and involving the community in the site's care and management.
- We strive to keep Nira Rock crime-free by maintaining sight lines, encouraging police
presence, and promoting positive use of the site.
- We maintain sustainable native plantings, leave areas of undisturbed and un-"managed"
habitat, and practice ecologically sound stewardship. We ensure that any changes to the
site are in keeping with Nira Rock's spirit as a wild place.
- We cultivate a strong and supportive friends community.
- We protect and advocate for Nira Rock in the face of any challenge to these goals,
including funding shortages, development pressures, and vandalism or abuse.
