Kathryn Nelson Keeper of Forest Park Award

The annual Keeper of Forest Park Awards are presented in order to recognize individuals or organizations that have demonstrated exceptional energy and creativity for the benefit of Forest Park.

In 2006, the award was renamed the Kathryn Nelson Keeper of Forest Park Award as a way to honor the memory of one of its first recipients. Kathryn co-chaired the Forest Park Master Planning process, chaired the FPF Education Committee, served on the FPF Board of Directors and co-chaired the Women’s Committee annual luncheon. Speaking about her work with the Master Planning process, Kathryn said she strived to represent “people who use the Park who don’t have an advocacy group to push their views."
