Each spring the Friends of Highland Recreation Area (FOHRA) volunteers install Commemorative Bricks in the Haven Hill Gatehouse circle. These are placed in preparation for the season-opening Redbud Reveal event at Highland State Recreation Area which will be held this year on Saturday, May 9, 2026 - Mother's Day weekend.

The Friends of Highland Recreation Area (FOHRA) volunteer organization was established in 2007, and is a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt non-profit organization operating under lease agreement with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Within one of the most picturesque, fascinating, and historically significant state parks in southeast lower Michigan, our goal is to combine the former Haven Hill estate history with Highland Recreation Area’s existing amenities, wilderness, and recreation.
