Friends of Silver Springs State Park

This group is the recipient of the 2024 Citizen Support Organization of the Year for Exceptional Accomplishment for Resource-Based Recreation.

An old concrete walkway along the spring run, damaged by decades of growing tree roots, posed a safety hazard

and mobility barrier to visitors. Rather than removing the trees, which stabilize the shoreline and prevent erosion,

the Friends of Silver Springs supported the Aluminum Land Bridge Project to creatively address an

environmental and accessibility challenge.
