This weekend (April 5th-6th) is the Florida State Park love fest occurring in multiple state parks around the state. Activities include various activities from sign waving, hiking, potluck picnics, and more, depending on the event location. To find out what is going on in a park near you, go to:

https://savefloridaparks.com/.

Many remember the surprise attempts to develop our Florida State Parks last August. Some lawmakers have put forth bills that prevent that from happening again, yet there are loopholes that could have us defending our state parks all over again in the future. That is why during this love fest, we are supporting our parks and letting our legislators know we want the bill that prevents this development from ever happening again!
