The Everglades Association operates sales outlets located throughout south Florida and offers high quality publications and educational sales items. These materials directly relate to the various stories surrounding the parks and to ways of planning for, and enhancing, the visitor’s experience.

Sales profits are returned to the parks to support educational, scientific, historical and visitor service programs that would not otherwise be available through federally funded sources. The Association also uses a portion of the proceeds to produce additional new educational materials about the parks; often based on new information that becomes available about the wonders of the South Florida ecosystem.

Discover more about South Florida’s National Parks and help foster the continuation of the parks’ educational efforts by supporting the Everglades Association. Become an association member and you will receive a 15% discount on all purchases.
