The Fayetteville Natural Heritage Association (FNHA) was formed in 2003 to promote conservation of natural areas in and around Fayetteville. Our organization has over 500 members and has contributed to preserving a 97-acre tree covered hillside and a 2-acre urban wetland as natural City parks. We committed to contributing $300,000 toward the purchase of part of the hillside park, and to date $200,000 has been given to the City. We expect to fulfill the commitment by July, 2007, when a stone and timber pavilion near the eastern entrance to the Park is completed. The pavilion was designed by FNHA vice-chair Karen Rollet-Crocker in the 1930’s style, which was used by the CCC to construct pavilions in our National Parks.
