2024 WAS ANOTHER BUSY YEAR!

TFCA was more active than ever in 2024. We were awarded several grants from state and local agencies, completed numerous projects, tallied thousands of volunteer hours, and began three multi-year restoration projects.

With help from our volunteers and partners, we're excited to do more in 2025 and beyond.
