To coincide with National Public Lands Day, the Florida Conservation Corps is hosting our annual Serve Outside September event to get the community involved in learning about and helping to combat the non-native invasive plant species issue we have here in Florida, specifically at Little Manatee River State Park. We will have get volunteers get out onto the beautiful hiking trail, where we will target Caesar Weed, before meeting up at the picnic area for educational games and interpretation.
***NOTE that this is a natural hiking trail with uneven ground and possibly exposed tree roots. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Also note that there are no public facilities at the hiking trailhead so be advised to use the restroom before you come out.****

Mission Statement
The mission of the Florida Conservation Corps is to develop natural and cultural resource leaders by connecting them to areas of critical need in conservation, preservation, interpretation and resource based recreation.
Description
The Florida Conservation Corps (FLCC) is an office within the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Division of Recreation and Parks (Florida Park Service) that operates an AmeriCorps National Service Program. This program is divided into three project areas that each address either a major issue facing Florida State Parks or a component of the FLCC mission. The three project areas are: Project A.N.T. (AmeriCorps Non-native plant Terminators), Project R.O.A.R. (Regional Outreach and Awareness Recruiters) and Project T.R.E.C. (Trail Restoration and Enhancement Corps).
FLCC provides hands-on service learning opportunities designed to develop leaders in the fields of land management, cultural preservation, resource based recreation and park facility management. Past and present FLCC members often cite their service term as the experience that helped them develop the confidence, knowledge and abilities necessary to conserve and interpret natural and cultural resources in balance with the use and enjoyment by the public.
