In the 1980s, the Yalecrest neighborhood formed the Miller Park Committee, a citizens oversight group. Based on comments as well as suggestions received from Yalecrest residents, the Yalecrest Neighborhood Council  wants to re-create the spirit of that early group and form the  “Friends of Miller Park.” The committee would be charged with maintaining the historical and environmental integrity of Miller Bird Refuge and Nature Park. This will be accomplished through public awareness, occasional clean-up projects, bird watching, vegetation and tree plantings, and educational outings in the park.
