Friends of Silver Springs State Park

The Friends of Silver Springs State Park are the recipients of the award for Citizen Support Organization of the Year.

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.
