Environmental interpretation helps us understand our natural world and why we should care about it. We're thrilled to share that, thanks to a $15,000 “Small and Mighty” grant from William G. and Marie Selby Foundation, along with matching funds from Friends of Myakka River, Myakka River State Park will soon be receiving a new vehicle for interpretation, figuratively and literally.   A mobile interpretive trailer to support the park’s environmental education mission!

This “pop up” educational station, chock full of tools and activities, will be easily positioned in different areas in and outside the park, allowing for impactful interpretive interactions.   It will also provide the infrastructure the park needs for developing engaging new environmental education offerings at Myakka River State Park and beyond.

We're extremely grateful to William G. and Marie Selby Foundation for their steadfast support of local nonprofits.

The new interpretive trailer will be placed in high traffic areas, such as the bridge on Main Park Drive, allowing for impactful and meaningful educational opportunities.
