Friends of Madera Canyon
The Friends of Madera Canyon (FOMC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer organization affiliated with the U.S. Forest Service. FOMC was created by local residents and businesses as they came together in 1987 to form the Friends of Madera Canyon as a response to the U.S. Forest Service’s appeal to the public for volunteers to help preserve and protect Madera Canyon. The organization provides informational brochures, clean-up crews, research and education programs for adults and school children, maintenance of trails for the handicapped, designs and maintains trail and nature signs, welcomes visitors, and finances the building of many of the facilities throughout the Canyon.
