Welcome!
.
Welcome to the Friends of
the Island Parks website. Friends of the Island Parks is a CSO (Citizens
Support Organization). Florida Park Service CSOs are volunteer organizations
that sponsor events, raise funds, and support the goals of the parks.
The Friends of the Island
Parks CSO's main focus is the support of Caladesi Island State Park and
Honeymoon Island State Park.
Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands
are rare, natural barrier islands that are basically undeveloped. Visitors
have the opportunity to enjoy a taste of Florida's original coast, |
|
to see many types of wildlife
that depend on these ecosystems and to learn about this environment that
needs to be protected.
From the ospreys that make
the island their year long home to the loggerhead turtles that lay eggs
on the beaches, the egrets wading in the shore grasses and the manatees
and dolphins that swim in the surrounding waters, we can all appreciate
and celebrate this natural environment together.
We join the Egmont
Key Alliance and the Friends
of Anclote Key in supporting our Island parks |
