Friends of Canaveral consists of a small, but mighty, group of members and volunteers who participate in the tradition of private philanthropy that is designed to enhance Canaveral's federal support. In 2025, we hope to accomplish even more towards our stewardship of America’s National Parks.

 

With your support we have: 

 

• Secured grants for restoration and maintenance of historic buildings within the Park

• Partnered with and provided funding for research and coastal estuarine restorations

• Provided thousands of volunteer hours for endangered sea turtle conservation, shore bird and beach mouse surveys, educational outreach to surrounding communities and numerous interpretive programs within the Park

• Participated and funded annual summer camps at the Park for schools through: A day at the beach, hands on environmental education, art in the park classes

• Sponsored summer interns

• Help fund the Artist in Residency – Sound Ecology program 

• Published the field guide to Plants of Canaveral National Seashore

• Provided advocacy for current and ongoing threats to Park and adjacent lands
