Our parks are free for everyone to visit and enjoy. If you love Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, you can donate today to help us continue investing in quality programs and services. Your donations will help make your favorite park even better! We'll use the donations for things like:

• Building and maintaining new trails
• Feeding and care for our birds of prey (eagles, hawks, owls, etc.)
• Providing children's programs to connect youth to the outdoors
• Upgrading our playground equipment
• Projects that improve visitor experience, not funded by the state's General Fund

Please note: Donations to state governments may qualify for itemized tax deductions. Please consult a qualified tax representative to learn more.
