Join NPCA, The Pew Charitable Trusts and members of the Florida congressional delegation for a tour of maintenance needs at Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve’s Kingsley Plantation.
The tour will be followed by a roundtable discussion of this pressing national park issue at the Omni Jacksonville Hotel.
Let your voice be heard as we discuss solutions for addressing our national parks’ $11.6 billion deferred maintenance backlog. Though this park-wide figure is hard to imagine, our tour of Kingsley Plantation will illuminate some of the real, tangible park-specific repair needs facing our parks.
