Our Story
The Butterfield Preservation Foundation emerged from a grassroots movement dedicated to preserving open spaces and supporting the Butterfield Park District. In 2015, a passionate group known as The Friends of Butterfield Parks mobilized to secure land adjacent to Glenbriar Park. Their efforts led to a successful community-wide referendum, passing with over 70% support, which laid the groundwork for the Foundation's formal establishment on August 10, 2017.
