About Us

Friends of Sugar Creek is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to restoring and protecting Sugar Creek and its tributaries throughout West Central Indiana.

Started by Dean Ford in the summer of 1987, FSC has worked persistently to accomplish this task for over 20 years. Past and current FSC projects include educational outreach, annual creek clean-ups, and family float trips.

We are always looking for new friends to help us carry out our mission statement: To protect, restore, and promote appreciation of Sugar Creek and its watershed. We believe Sugar Creek matters, and think you should too.

How to donate

The Friends of Sugar Creek do not charge a membership fee. We rely on grants and the generosity of our members and friends to fund our projects.
