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!
