As you may or may not know, membership in the SFNPCC includes membership in the Florida National Parks Association (FNPA). Since its inception in 1951, the FNPA has provided more than 4.1 million dollars in aid to the National Park Service areas of South Florida. As stewards of the FNPA, it is our privilege to give aid and support when possible. The FNPA is participating in the "Give Miami Day" on Nov. 21st. If possible, consider a donation. Click on the image or link HERE for more infomation.
 

The FNPA is looking for donations on "Give Miami Day" to supplement four projects, listed below.

 

The FNPA supports five very different National Park units: Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Biscayne National Park, Dry Tortugas National Park, & Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Between them, these parks shelter the last remnants of what was once a vast sub-tropical Eco-system, stretching southward from Lake Okeechobee to the sea. Today, the abundance and diversity of natural life and habitat found in the South Florida National Park units are unparalleled in the United States. The parks play a significant role in many local economies and are the subject of global attention for their ecological importance. Held in public trust, these unique natural systems of South Florida offer visitors, non-visitors, scientists, and the surrounding community extraordinary opportunities for learning, for enjoyment, and for preserving an extraordinary piece of our nation's natural, cultural, and historic heritage.

The club has 2 official Facebook (FB) groups. One is a FB public "page", and the other is a private "group".

The public page is for viewing by the general public; everyone can see and participate. And if you're on FB, you can find it by typing the full name of the club, in the search bar. Or click here PUBLIC PAGE.

Our private FB group is for members only. To join the group, type SFNPCC Members in the search box, and click "JOIN" to request (or click PRIVATE GROUP). If you're a current member of the club, I'll accept you.

Feel free to share club photos, ask for critiques, and ask photography related questions here. This is also where I create our field trip "events" (in addition to our website, of course). We created this private FB account so that we could discuss freely any photography related items without the prying eyes of the general public. Enjoy!
