Service Project Announcement: Re-Decking Boardwalk at DeLeon Springs State Park

We are excited to announce a service project at DeLeon Springs State Park, where we will be re-decking a 70-foot boardwalk that leads to the ancient cypress tree known as Old Methuselah. This project is being coordinated in collaboration with the Friends of DeLeon Springs State Park, who are providing supplies, and the Florida Park Service Ranger Association (FPSRA), who are assisting with labor.

The boardwalk requires inspection of the pilings and replacement of the planks, which will be done using composite materials to ensure long-term durability.

The tentative dates for this project are January 7th through the 10th, with overnight accommodations available at Tomoka State Park. Volunteers would travel from Tomoka to DeLeon Springs each day for the work.
