It's hard to believe FMR turned 25 this year!
To celebrate our silver anniversary, we created this video to honor not only our accomplishments and but the beauty and power of our local national park and all the volunteers, advocates and partners who work to protect and restore it.
We highly recommend watching in full screen. Enjoy!
