From Baton Rouge to Arkansas 💚

BREC’s own Dodi Falcon, Volunteer Manager, and LaWanda Holden, Administrative Services and Records Manager, recently represented BREC at a Trust for Public Land seminar alongside park leaders from across the country!

They shared what makes BREC shine from our Community Advisory Committee to the success of Late-Night Hype sparking conversations around community engagement, volunteer involvement, and building trust through collaboration.

When collaboration leads the way, parks everywhere benefit. We’re proud to be part of the conversation!

Lend a hand with us! 💚

Love your parks? 💚 Put that love into action by volunteering with BREC! From programs to special events and everything in between, our volunteers help create recreational opportunities for the entire community.
