CFVI was created to serve both donors and nonprofit organizations of the Virgin Islands that want to ensure the highest quality of life for present and future generations. Its primary goal is to build a collection of permanent funds, which will be used to enhance the educational, physical, social, cultural and environmental well-being of the children, youth, and families of the Virgin Islands. Our programs, operating cost, and much of CFVI's community outreach are provided each year through generous donations from CFVI Angels. The Angel gifts support all we do in the community.

The Friends have developed programs to help foster community involvement, educate the public about the wonders of the Park and the natural world, and to protect this precious resource. Our programs encourage people to respect the Park and take responsibility for its well-being. We encourage people to enjoy the Park through recreational activities, and provide ways for the community to contribute to an area that means so much to them. Throughout the year we have special one-day events for people to enjoy. Last year, due to the flooding, we had over 750 people pitch in to help out. Our annual events include: Purge-the-Spurge Volunteers help “weed out” leafy spurge, a nasty invasive weed, at this one of a kind event. Tackle-the-Tansy and Battle-the-Burdock are new programs that the Friends are initiating this year. Invasive plants are becoming an increasing problem within the Park, squeezing out native vegetation and wildlife, and reducing biodiversity.

The GCC was created to increase awareness and appreciation for BC's rare and beautiful grassland ecosystems, to work with land managers to achieve sustainable management practices and to implement proactive projects that will ensure the conservation and stewardship of BC's grasslands. Increasing pressures from urban expansion, subdivision and development, abusive recreation, invasive weeds, forest encroachment and inappropriate land management practices threaten the long term sustainability of our grasslands. Relative to other regions of Canada where most of the grasslands have been lost, BC still has an opportunity to manage and conserve our valuable grassland heritage.
