The mission of Friends is to partner with, promote and preserve Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites. Statewide, Friends works to raise awareness of the economic and intrinsic values of Georgia’s greatest treasures. We work with state and community leaders to help make sure that our natural and cultural resources are well protected, well maintained and well preserved for generations to come.

Our chapter works with Black Rock Mountain State Park, coordinating volunteer work, and promoting the Park. We refer to our chapter as Black Rock Buddies. Black Rock is a real Rabun County treasure and we look forward to working with the Chamber for the mutual benefit of all members.
