Serve the Environment at Snyder Park with Kids Ecology Corps

Snyder Park is an urban forest and part of the Eastern United States Flyway zone visited by a variety of migratory birds. These migratory birds depend on the native plant and tree species in Snyder Park for shelter and food. Over the years, the numbers of Florida Natives have decreased significantly because the introduction of invasive exotic trees and plants.  The goal of the Snyder Park Project is to educate volunteers by participating in a service learning project that connects them with a real-world restoration project.

Volunteers will be doing Nature Trail maintenance - pruning plants and small trees, clearing paths of debris, and removing overgrown and invasive vines.
