Our Partners

Partnerships are crucial to the success of the park's conservation and education mission, and the park is always open to ideas for new partnerships. Park partners include organizations that help sponsor internships in the park. Our park partners include:

 

The The Alliance for Florida's National Parks is the official philanthropic partner for Florida’s four national parks.The organization strives to instill in all people an appreciation of Florida’s public lands and natural resources for what they are – the key to the sustainability and prosperity of the state. Through five focused pillars of support, The Alliance’s work enriches the park experience and creates deeper connections between diverse communities and the nature that abounds in their backyards.

 

The Florida National Parks Association features books, videos and related products about the flora, fauna and history of the South Florida national parks. Net proceeds from the sale of products are returned to the parks to support educational and visitor service programs.
