Friends of Sheldon Lake SP (FOSL) began in January 2003 when five folks sat down with SLSP Superintendent Rob Comstock. They met in the midst of a Texas state legislative budget crisis. A proposed construction and even the future of Sheldon Lake State Park & Environmental Learning Center seemed in doubt.
The resources of the park were stretched meeting demand from Houston area schools for environmental learning. Volunteers were needed as never before. Money had to be raised to help subsidize students from the poorest schools.
What was NOT in doubt then or now is the need for environmental learning and a state park destinations for families. FOSL was formed to help SLSP staff and TPWD achieve their mission for the park.
FOSL is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization incorporated in the State of Texas. We are chartered by TPWD as the official Friends organization for SLSP. You contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law.
