Welcome To The Friends of Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park Site
Our Mission Statement: The Friends of Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park was established in 1991 to provide support to the Park, to help conserve and enhance the wildlife and other resources of the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, and to expand public interest in the heritage of the natural environment it represents. Our support areas include volunteerism, park programs, and financial support. The Friends of Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park have become a repository for contributions from individuals, organizations, and businesses. All funds contributed to the FOHSWP remain at the park and are expended under the authority of the Board of Directors, who are all local citizens who love the park. The FOHSWP have made significant financial contributions to park improvements. Without them and all their supporters, we would not have the wonderful Park that exists today.

The Wheelchairs Have Arrived!
The Friends of Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park were recently awarded a grant from The Florida State Parks Foundation for the purchase of new wheelchairs for the park. The old ones had just about finished their expected life and this grant came at just the right time. Here is a picture of some of the board members and park personnel saying a big THANK YOU to the Florida State Parks Foundation.
