These partnerships are key to providing outstanding state park visitor experiences; preserving history, natural lands and native wildlife; and extending the benefits of parks into nearby communities. 

Companies throughout Florida plan employee and family days of volunteer service. Plan your perfect combination of service and celebration, or a team-building experience. 

Your business, company or corporation can set up an opportunity for employees to give back to the community by contributing to Florida State Parks. With 175 state parks, there are many convenient opportunities throughout Florida. For more information, contact us at 850-245-2157 or FSP.Feedback@FloridaDEP.gov.

Starbucks

Oleta River State Park in North Miami Beach recently hosted 80 volunteers from a local Starbucks store. The crew worked together to remove the park's weathered beach access mats and replace them with eight, all-new ADA  compliant mats.

Johnson Engineering Inc.

For 15 years the company and employees have contributed to Lovers Key State Park.

Progressive Insurance

Duke Energy 

Duke Energy has implemented “Power in the Parks” days of service. Duke employees recently contributed to Highlands Hammock and Crystal River Preserve state parks. At Highlands the talented volunteers constructed and installed 13 new educational kiosks and restored 20 acres of native vegetation for the federally endangered Florida scrub-jay. At Crystal River Preserve, a new visitor kiosk, benches and an entrance gate were installed, and trails improved so that visitors can hike and enjoy the six coastal habitats, views of three lakes and the wildlife that lives there.
