Our Parks Belong to All of Us

There is something remarkable about Florida's national parks. From the vast wetlands of the Everglades and the cypress forests of Big Cypress to the vibrant waters of Biscayne and the remote beauty of Dry Tortugas, these extraordinary places offer opportunities to explore, discover, learn, and connect with the natural world.

And perhaps one of their greatest gifts is that they belong to all of us.

That's one of the reasons I am proud to serve on the Board of the Alliance for Florida's National Parks. I believe these places are worth protecting, that experiencing nature can inspire curiosity and a lifelong appreciation for the natural world, and that everyone deserves opportunities to discover the extraordinary wonders found within our national parks.

The Alliance brings these beliefs to life through its commitment to education, exploration, and conservation across four of South Florida's national parks. By connecting people to these remarkable places, supporting meaningful learning experiences, and advancing conservation efforts, we are helping ensure their value endures for generations to come.

This Give Miami Day, I'm inviting my friends, family, and community to join me in supporting a mission I care deeply about.

Together, we can educate, inspire, and conserve these extraordinary places for generations to come.

Thank you for being part of something that belongs to all of us.
