Newsletters

Since the founding of Friends of Brightwood Park in 2020, an appreciated feature of membership has been the quarterly newsletters for members.   By 2021, the Brightwood Kids got their own newsletter as well.  This work has been the largely the effort of Director Denise Ricci with help and photos from many people.  This compilation serves not only as a reference, but also as a pictorial history of our organization.

Note!  For many of the issues, the Brightwood kids- Nature Detectives section is the bottom portion of the main newsletter.  Scroll Down!
