Have you ever wondered what trail maintenance is like in Big Cypress National Preserve?
Come join the Florida Trail Association for one of our Volunteer Work Parties in Big Cypress, often noted as the most remote wilderness hike on the Florida Trail. Get your feet wet while you trek through cypress groves in search of rare ghost orchids, migratory bird populations or even a glimpse of the endangered Florida panther.
This is a remote, backcountry experience. The trail crew will be camped in a primitive location. Volunteers must have backcountry camping experience, and be willing to stay with our crew for multiple days.

See you in the swamp! 🐊
