Florida

Ranger Eric Nelson is my hero! From clearing paths to keep them safe. To leading inspirational walks in the valley, to always lending a hand when he sees a need. His esprit de corps would make Steven Mather proud!

Thank God for parks and the preservation of them. It is so needed for so many reasons. I personally love the clean air and the peaceful feel of nature. Thank you, Joy

I’ve been visiting yearly with my dad and grandma since I was 5. I’m now 26 and my grandma has since passed but she always loved the bison. She felt spiritually attached to their freedom and I was in awe the first time I’ve seen them. Thank you to every park ranger for creating a safe haven for these animals. Thank you for saving a piece of earth for others to visit. It’s my favorite park and I stand with you all during these trying times. Protect the bison, our parks and stay safe everyone.

Always went out of his way to say hello and spend time with our grandson Mason thru the years and many visits - from age 2 to present day teensge years . 😊

Thank you for all you do to help preserve and protect our park. The Big Cypress National Preserve is such an important part of Florida’s history and it’s vital habitat to more than 100 threatened and endangered species, including plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. With your help, this beautiful part of Florida can continue to be preserved. Not only do I thank you, but so do all the creatures and plants that call the preserve home.

I love our parks! Keep them safe. 🌲

"Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself." –Henry David Thoreau No matter who you are, where you are, or when you are there… nature fills our hearts and resets our souls. We all need it and God bless you for protecting it.
