Welcome to Friends of Phillips FarmFor over a decade, volunteers have helped build and maintain many parts of Virgil Phillips Farm County Park. Longtime friends of the farm have created a nonprofit to better organize these efforts and related fund-raising. This website showcases current and past activities and volunteer projects, coming events, and what's on the horizon for "friends" to do at Phillips Farm. Join us!

Park Vegetation Management Plan
One mission of Friends of Phillips Farm is "to restore and enhance habitat that is characteristic of the Palouse Bioregion." New in 2021, our vegetation management plan describes vegetation management challenges facing the park, states overarching and unit-specific objectives for management, and proposes treatments to achieve goals. Read more about our project here and access our vegetation management plan here.
