FOPP and PPPSP have launched a program to expand access to park events and officially established and maintained trails for all community members by acquiring an EcoRover All-Terrain Wheelchair and the trailer required to store and transport it. Florida Blue's $10,000 grant was facilitated by the Florida State Parks Foundation. This interim funding has allowed us to deliver the EcoRover and trailer to the park. Now, FOPP is turning to the proven generosity of this community to match Florida Blue's grant by raising another $10,000 for complete funding of both EcoRover and trailer.
To donate, please navigate to our donations page or mail a check to Friends of Paynes Prairie, Inc. at 100 Savannah Blvd., Micanopy, FL 32667.
