The Friends of the Hocking Hills State Park Educational Endowment supports educational programming and activities at the John Glenn Astronomy Park and other initiatives of the Friends of the Hocking Hills State Park. Friends of the Hocking Hills State Park aims to conserve, preserve, and protect the Hocking Hills.

As a fund grows, the capability to provide increased grants and support to enrichment activities grows as well. This means the fund will make a greater and greater impact on the work of the Friends of the Hocking Hills for the many years and generations to come.
