On Thursday, August 21, the Friends of Reid State Park met with State Park officials to present a check in the amount of $11,214 to support the development of a Nature Center at Griffith's Head in the old concessions building. These funds were the result of generous donations from many Reid lovers and a $5,000 match from FRSP. Representatives of the state included: Amanda Beal, Commissioner of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry (DACF); Haylee Parsons, Park Manager; Andy Cutko, Director of the Bureau of Parks and Lands; Gary Best, Southern Regional Parks Manager, and Jim Britt, Director of Communications at DACF. Katie Langley of the Maine Trust for Local News/Times-Record covered the event.
