The Friends of the WVRC is a non-profit organization comprised of nearly 1,000 people, including volunteers, public and private sector representatives and community leaders who are dedicated to realizing this dream.

Created in 2001 through a partnership of WESTMARC and Valley Forward Association, the organization provides advocacy, promotion and education focused on the development of a 70+ mile multi-modal, non-motorized corridor connecting residential areas, parks, schools, recreation and commerce within and around the project site.
