Volunteers will have a couple of projects to choose from. We're going to be:

*Pulling invasive plants from a lake's edge (bring water shoes and a change of clothes - you will get to cool off in the lake for this project)

*Spreading fresh mulch around a playground

*Shoveling new crushed shell rock on our ADA trail to improve access for all

*And trash pick-up along our hiking trails

Adults or Families with children are welcome. There is something for everyone. (All volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the entire time they are volunteering.)

Florida State Parks Mission: To provide resource-based recreation while preserving, interpreting, and restoring natural and cultural resources. Volunteers contribute thousands of hours to the Florida Park Service, and we love our volunteers!
