A note on our changes…

General admission has always been, and will always be, our biggest source of support for the Glen. That's not changing. Annual Membership isn't replacing this, it's simply an option for folks who visit regularly or want to give a little extra to help with our conservation efforts.

Children 13 and up have always paid full admission, but we have made all children under 12 free. That's new.

Also, Friends of the Falls is still just $25/year: first visit free with 20% discounts following.

We probably don't say this enough, but we are a non profit 501c3 that does not receive any supplemental income. Our preservation costs are fully funded by our admission and programming fees. These costs have more than doubled since our last fee adjustment in 2012. Helene caused an enormous loss of revenue the past 18 months, and it has taken a great deal of time, effort and resources to ensure that we can share this very special place with all of those who cherish it.

Our mission is to preserve and protect the Rich Cove Forest of Pearson's Falls and Glen.

And it is a mission we are asking all of our visitors to be a part of, whether as a day visitor, a friend, or a membership holder.
