Volunteers undertake a variety of tasks such as hauling and spreading woodchips, invasive plant removal, and picking up trash.
If your organization is interested in a community service event at BFNP, we would love to work with you. Contact fobfrsvp@gmail.com and we can talk about potential dates and activities.
Weed Warriors
In Florida, volunteer groups remove invasive Burmese pythons from the Everglades. At BFNP we remove invasive Asian wisteria. This vine was 29.5 feet long.
Mondays from 9-11am, this hearty team of dedicated volunteers meets at the park to work on invasive removal and habitat restoration along with discovering and sharing park treasures. Look for us in areas of the park that need timely attention.
Interested in joining us? Send an email to fobfrsvp@gmail.com to get on the list for notification of plans and meeting places each week.
Porcelain berry vine
Weed Warriors take on many projects in the park, including this one on a fall morning: The terribly invasive porcelain berry vine had grown up along the fence along Bandy Road in the southeast part of the park. The Weed Warriors chose that as the project of the day and cleared nearly all the porcelain berry vine.
