Friends of Florida Parks
Mission
To support, enhance, and celebrate Florida's public parks through community-driven ecological stewardship, educational programming, and inclusive civic events.
Vision
A community where public green spaces are more than scenery—they are living classrooms, cultural commons, and places of belonging for all generations.
Core Values
Stewardship
We care for the land, its pollinators, and its people—with attention, accountability, and gratitude.
Community
We center local voices and shared effort, inviting residents to co-create meaningful experiences in public space.
Access
We believe parks should be safe, beautiful, and enriching for everyone.
Education Through Experience
We connect science, story, and place to deepen learning and inspire future stewards.
Ecological Integrity
We promote native planting, pollinator habitats, and environmentally sound practices.
Joy and Ritual
We believe civic life should include wonder, celebration, and shared rituals rooted in the natural world.
