The Friends of Volo Bog received Articles of Incorporation on January 19, 1983, and its first newsletter was issued in November of the same year.

 

Mentioned in the issue was a grant awarded to Volo Bog State Natural Area & the visitor center by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Museum Services. In order to receive the funds, the Friends had to match the total with donations, fund-raising and volunteer work.  Their fundraiser at the time was a Shop ‘N Share at a Jewel grocery store!​
