About Us

Friends of the Falls’s mission is to preserve Noccalula Falls and the hiking and biking trails that surround it. The waterfall is a beloved natural attraction in the community, and the organization is dedicated to ensuring that it remains a pristine and accessible place for generations to come.

To achieve this goal, the organization partners with a variety of local businesses and other organizations to fund preservation work and coordinate volunteer efforts. The businesses might be outdoor gear and equipment retailers, outdoor enthusiasts' clubs, and outdoor activities providers, and they will help financially and raise awareness of the cause and volunteer opportunities.

One of the organization's key efforts is trail maintenance. Our organization works to keep the hiking and biking trails that lead to the waterfall in good condition, ensuring that they are safe and accessible for all visitors. This includes tasks such as clearing fallen branches and debris, repairing erosion damage, and maintaining trails.

In addition to trail maintenance, the organization also focuses on preserving the natural habitat of the area. This includes efforts such as planting native vegetation, controlling invasive species, and monitoring wildlife populations.

The organization also actively engages the community in its efforts. They hold regular volunteer events and workdays to give locals the opportunity to get involved and help preserve the waterfall and the surrounding area. They might also have organized events like clean-up days, family hiking days, and guided tours.

Finally, the organization also provides educational resources and outreach to raise awareness about the importance of preserving natural areas like this one. They might have brochures, presentations and interactive activities that teach people about the ecosystem, the local geology, and the historical significance of the Noccalula Falls.
