Welcome to the Friday Waypoint where you'll find the latest updates about opportunities & activities with the Florida Trail Association.
O2O Film Screening on June 1st
Here's a glimpse of the journey of three veterans who explored a 57-mile section of the Florida Wildlife Corridor from the Ocala to the Osceola National Forests. 🥾 

⭐Join us on National Trails Day for a special film screening of O2O: The Path to Connection on Saturday, June 1st at 3pm at Cypress and Grove Brewery in Gainesville! The event is free and open to the public.⭐

The 25-minute film captures their adventure and features the connection between nature and wellness, conservation compatibility of military installations, and accessibility of outdoor spaces for all. The core of the Expedition involves a 4-day journey which includes paddling of the Ocklawaha River as well as biking/hiking segments through the Florida National Scenic Trail. 

After the film, listen to a panel discussion featuring the trekkers and land managers who made the expedition possible as they share stories of wild Florida. Learn about FTA’s new adaptive hiking program, take a look at our accessibility device, and mingle with partners in conservation.
