The Friends of Los Encinos web site is a place where we recognize individuals, groups, organizations, and businesses who volunteer their time, contribute money, supplies, and goods and services to the Los Encinos Docent Association and support Encino area preservation and history.
Los Encinos Docent Association has been engaged with the community for decades. It evolved from the Encino Historical Society that helped stop area development thereby resulting in the creation of Los Encinos State Historic Park. Through outreach and awareness the Los Encinos Docent Association (LEDA) continues to advocate for preservation and education about Encino area history. LEDA does this with help of Friends.
These are just a few of the many Friends of Los Encinos. Check back to meet more.
A special thank you to legacy supporters who stepped up and helped with the 1st Haunted History.

| Meet some of our good friends.
An anonymous donor stepped up December of 2011 with a generous $150,000 donation. This helped support park operating expenses while the park was threatened with closure.*
*Note that the State of California ultimately 'found' many millions of dollars that had been hidden, thereby indeed as that was basis of seventy (70) parks being placed on a closure list -- including local Los Encinos State Historic Park in Encino -- no parks ever needed to have been placed on such closure list. There are different versions of what kept parks open. California budget woes is part of every variation. Undoubtedly, Friends of Los Encinos let their voices be heard, and THAT is priceless!
The California State Parks Foundation has been a great partner, grantor, and park supporter for many many years.
