The Friends of the Savannas

The Friends of Savannas Preserve State Park, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation whose mission is to support the preservation, maintenance, and interpretation of Savannas Preserve State Park. Many of the events and educational programs that occur at the park are supported by this organization, whether it be through the mediums of providing the funds or manpower necessary to make the event successful. Many of its members also volunteer at the park to help carry out the mission of the Friends of Savannas Preserve State Park and the Florida Park Service through their time and dedicated service.

Call for Volunteers

Are you handy with tools? Do you have electrical or plumbing skills? The Can-Do Committee needs volunteers to help with a variety of tasks around the park this summer since eleven of their helpers have returned north for the summer. Training will be provided. Call the Education Center at 772-398-2779 and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator, Kelsey Doyle. Please inform her you are interested in volunteering with the Can-Do Committee.
