Florida’s special places compose the nation’s finest state park system. They are Florida’s highest quality state lands including one of the world’s longest and deepest underwater caves, the largest sinkhole and numerous blue water springs.
There are tropical hammocks and coral reefs of the keys: prairies and pinelands, barrier islands and the largest swamp adorned with orchids. A birding wonderland and remarkable native wildlife found in no other state including: manatees, marine turtles, panthers and crocodiles. These natural treasures belong to you and me—- but they are at risk. Will we save them?
Jim Stevenson served as Chief Naturalist of Florida’s State Parks for 20 years during which time he developed the educational and the land management programs for the state park system.
