Get Involved

Be a Part of Something Greater 

At The Friends of Jonathan Dickinson State Park, involvement goes beyond mere participation—it’s about making a real impact. When you join us, whether through membership, volunteering, or donations, you become a vital part of our mission to protect and enhance the natural and cultural beauty of one of Florida’s most treasured landscapes. Each contribution, no matter the size or form, helps us sustain the park’s biodiversity, preserve its history, and ensure that future generations can also enjoy its wonders.

Your involvement brings life to our initiatives and strength to our cause. By becoming a member, you gain a closer connection to the park’s projects and community events. As a volunteer, you lend your hands and heart, directly influencing our conservation efforts and educational programs. And through your donations, you provide essential funding that drives forward all aspects of our work. Together, we can foster a legacy of stewardship and community spirit, ensuring that the park remains a vibrant sanctuary for both wildlife and people. Join us today and experience the profound satisfaction of nurturing the environment and enriching your community.
