The South Florida National Parks Trust was founded in 2002 to improve the quality of life in South Florida by supporting the national parks that define our landscape and enrich our culture—Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park and Dry Tortugas National Park in the Florida Keys. Since its inception, the Trust has funded a series of projects that enhance the visitor experience, promote education, and facilitate volunteerism and community involvement.
