Friends of Griffith Park
Friends of Griffith Park is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization to promote "the enlightened stewardship of Griffith Park so it can survive and thrive in the 21st century."
Prompted by the now rejected 2005 Griffith Park Master Plan Draft, a citizens movement emerged to advocate rejection of the plan, cooperating originally under the name "Save Griffith Park," and was incorporated in September 2010. The organization is active through a website, a quarterly newsletter, petition signings, and activism at Los Angeles City Council meetings.

The veils are drawn about the world,”
