Sphere of Influence: Kirkwood Valley area.

Areas of Interest: Friends was formed to address the increasing development pressures on the Kirkwood Valley area. The Friends goal is for the resort to succeed, but with an appropriate amount of development in the valley, preserving the special environment and community that is Kirkwood. The Friends have been gaining strength and support as the residents and visitors to Kirkwood become aware and concerned about the potential for over-development in the narrow alpine valley. The Friends have been successful in night-lighting issues, eliminating plans to build a golf course on the ski slopes, protecting old-growth trees, and have delayed proposed development projects.
