Welcome to Friends of Phillips Farm

For 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!

Fall Festival - Cancelled

The Phillips Farm Fall Festival planned for October 2021 is canceled due to concerns about COVID-19.​

Your Input Requested on New Trail Signs: October 16-24

The Friends of Phillips Farm recently received a grant from the Lewis-Clark Valley Healthcare Foundation to create new trail signs at the park as part of our “Walk in the Woods for Wellness” project. Ten prototype native plant signs have been designed so far, and we are excited to hear what you think about them! Your feedback will help us ensure that the final signs will be beautiful and helpful additions to the park. 

The prototype signs will be posted along two portions of trails on Saturday, Oct. 16, and feedback will be collected through Oct. 24. Directions to the trails and instructions for providing feedback will be posted at the park's lower picnic shelter.  Thanks for your input!

New: 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.
