About FOSLS

How we're helping

Friends of Schafer and Lake Sylvia State Parks (F.O.S.L.S.) is an organization whose main goal is to benefit, support, promote, protect and ensure the perpetual operation of Schafer and Lake Sylvia state parks. We are a Non-Profit, 501(C)3 community-based organization focused on helping preserve Schafer and Lake Sylvia State Parks. We have worked to present the state park story to our legislature and have supported the state park agency as they have worked to preserve our state park system. We have improved our local state parks by raising the funds to build the Legacy Pavilion at Lake Sylvia and the new large group camp shelter at Schafer. We are working with the state on a new redevelopment of Schafer Park which is scheduled to begin sometime this year. We also organize and support the Lake Sylvia Fall Festival in September as well as many other public events such as the First Day Hike, Spring Trillium Trek, Spring Cleanups, and the Yule Log Celebration. We could not be successful without the work and commitment from our volunteers, board members, and donors.

Want to get involved?

We need volunteers to do everything from down and dirty work in the parks to advocating for state parks in Olympia and everything in between. All skill and physical levels are welcome. 

We have lots of volunteer opportunities available, including trail maintenance, administrative duties, building projects, public outreach, and event planning.   Leave a message at (360) 703-4249  with your name and contact phone number. 


If you are interested in participating in the weekly weed removal project, contact us at (360) 580-6503.
