• Do you enjoy the outdoors?
• Do you want to learn more about the living things around us?
• Is conservation of resources important to you?
  
          In 2006, a group of dedicated volunteers at the Genesee County Park & Forest formed a group called Association for Conservation of Recreational and Natural Spaces (ACORNS). The mission of ACORNS is to enhance the public's experience at the Genesee County Parks (Genesee County Park & Forest and DeWitt Recreation Area) by promoting the use and appreciation of the parks and supporting environmental education.
