Mission
Friends of St. Joseph Bay Preserves, Inc., is a Citizen Support Organization with the purpose of promoting the goals of the managers of the St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve by volunteering for specific tasks and by raising funds for improvements to the Preserve. The semiannual fundraiser, Bay Day, includes educational exhibits which raise awareness of the Preserves and help the community around St. Joseph Bay learn about the importance of keeping the bay clean.
Program accomplishments
- Part III, line 28, A large expense category for 2025 was payments for maintenance of Preserve equipment and vehicles, combined with utilities (Part I, line 14). The interpretive trail by the lodge was completed in 2025 . By paying for maintenance of the equipment used for this work, the support organization helps the Preserve's program. The utility that we pay for is phone and internet service for the large number of students and researchers who visit the Preserve to study plants and animals of the St. Joseph Bay.
- Part III, line 29, The support organization spent a considerable amount of money in preparation for its two semiannual fundraisers called Bay Days. A "Low Country Boil" lunch is served and a donation for the lunch is requested; so purchase of food, drinks, and serving ware are the largest expenses each time. Amost all of the work of cooking and serving food, setting up information booths to educate visitors about local nature and nature-focused organizations, presenting free, guided tours of the Preserve, and arranging parking is performed by volunteers. Educating people who live around the St. Joseph Bay about the importance of pristine water is a goal of the St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve.
- Part III, line 30, Volunteers carry out projects of both the Friends of St. Joseph Bay Preserves support organization and the Preserve itself. Some are our members, but we get an out-sized share of help from site volunteers, people who park their RVs at the Preserve for one month, and in return, work 20-40 hours per week at the Preserve. Depending on their skills, they mow, build and repair buildings, clean the lodgings for students and researchers who stay, and do many odd jobs. The Friends organization pays for amenities such as a farewell meal for each group of volunteers, to recognize and thank them for their contributions.
