HILLSBOROUGH RIVER STATE PARK
PRESERVATION SOCIETY
Our Work & You
Be A Part of Our Mission
Volunteers can do many things—greet visitors, conduct tours, help rangers remove exotic plants or maintain the natural beauty of pine flatwoods and hiking trails. The Florida Park Service, due to increased demands on park staff, works closely with volunteers to assist with the sometimes-daunting task of keeping the parks running and providing visitor services.
Volunteers are essential to the operation of Fort Foster Historic Site, as well as the never-ending maintenance of our historic Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) buildings. “There is a lot to do right now. It is a great time for community service,” says CSO President Walt Williams.
