Warriors on the Water Comes to
State Park
--
Jensen Beach, FL
–Area veterans are invited to join the
Friends of Savannas Preserve State Park
(FOSPSP) for the premier of Warriors on the Water, a special
event to take place Sunday, November 9th from 9am until noon. Participants will enjoy a guided kayak tour
on the pristine marsh system located in the park, followed by a lunch provided
by the Friends group. "This is our
way of reaching out to local veterans, to thank them for
their service, and to let them know about everything the park has to offer",
says Ray Treacy, president of FOSPSP.
Warriors on the Water
is the brain child of veteran and Savannas Preserve State Park volunteer,
Evelyn Dodd. "After kayaking on the
marsh, I knew I had to share this with my fellow veterans", says
Dodd. "Kayaking in the marsh is so
serene and breathtakingly beautiful. While
kayaking you see different flora and wildlife than what you see in other areas
of the Savannas. I want local veterans
to experience and know what a treasure the Savannas is.”
Veterans interested in participating in Warriors on the Water should call the Savannas Education Center at
(772) 398-2779. Cost is $5 per person
plus paid park admission. Space is
limited and reservations are required.
Veterans are asked to provide identification upon check-in.
The Savannas Preserve State Park is located at 2541 Walton
Road in Port St. Lucie. For information
