Friends of Euclid Creek’s goal is to expand greenspace and parks in every one of the 10 communities within the Euclid Creek Watershed. FOEC immediately needs $20,000 to complete the purchase of the Richmond Heights parcel; and an additional $280,000 to fundraise to protect the Highland Heights parcel.
