Turtle time! A few reminders for nesting season:
Do not approach a turtle or hatchlings
Do not touch the nest cages
Pick up all of your trash
Do your best to support the sea turtles!
& as always, wash your hands, maintain social distancing, and have a safe, fun time at the park!

While most birds are motivated by food, the Pileated Woodpecker is driven by its unrelenting hatred of trees. ⁣

Well, not really. (Trees may think so!)

We currently need WEEKDAY A.M. assistance. What's a better way to start your day than with a view of the gulf?😍
(B/c of current regulations we are only able to accept volunteers that are 16+ and have a valid driver's license.) #paradisecoast

Sea turtles, shorebirds and seabirds depend on #beach habitat for nesting and survival. As you are #SocialDistancing from other people, remember to give #wildlife plenty of space too: https://t.co/OVHZxeCd3x

While Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park may not be open yet we are able to deliver some exciting news. We have an answer to a question that many of you have been asking- Will my State Park Annual Pass get extended? And the answer is... YES! #paradisecoast #naples

On Mon, May 4, some #flstateparks will re-open trails, day use areas & beach access w/ limited facilities. Visitors must practice proper social distancing, limit group size to 10 or less & stay 6 ft apart. As @FLDEPNews works on Phase 2 of reopening, see our webpage for the list.

We appreciate your cooperation+understanding as we work to prioritize the welfare of our communities & staff. We will be providing updates to the public on our webpage & social media channels. We look forward to welcoming you to our award winning parks as soon as possible(3/3)

[Florida State Parks @FLStateParks]

@FLDEPNews has taken many measures to continue providing resource recreation at our state parks, such as limiting operating hours and reducing visitor capacity. Unfortunately, this has not resulted in the reductions needed to best protect public health(2/3)

[Florida State Parks @FLStateParks]

In order to limit gatherings on public beaches to less than 10, DEP will reduce the visitor capacity at State Parks with beaches and swimming areas beginning Thursday, March 19. We will continue to keep the public informed as the situation develops.

[Florida State Parks @FLStateParks]

#flstateparks are OPEN for day use 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. effective immediately. All events, activities, special event reservations, pavilion rentals and camping reservations are canceled for the next 60 days. Mar 20, campgrounds and all overnight accommodations will be fully closed.

[The Friends of Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park @FriendsOfDelnor]

Currently, all Florida State Parks remain OPEN to the public. However, out of an abundance of caution, DEP has made the decision to cancel all events and activities at Florida State Parks. The department will provide updates when events and activities will resume.
