Friends of Kolomoki, through the Passport Grant program, recently came together to repair footbridges along the hiking trails—replacing worn boards and reinforcing sections of the path. Their efforts help keep the trails in good condition for everyone to enjoy. Join a Friends group, and be part of the difference—volunteer today and help our parks grow and thrive.

Your State Parks Day is almost here, and it’s the perfect time to give back to the places you love!

Whether you lend a hand or give a gift, you’ll be making a lasting impact for generations to enjoy!
