Making a positive impact on our community
There are 38 Florida State Forests. With the help of Friends, Seminole State Forest is the first to offer the Tracked Chair Program. These battery operated chairs are able to take those impaired on the trials through this magnificent forest, unassisted. With generous donations we have two chairs available and reservations are free of charge.

New Bridge Around Bear Pond
Friends of Seminole State Forest has built a bridge on the north side of Bear Pond. If you have ever hiked around the pond, you know there is a low-lying wetlands area on the trail. Some people choose to go around and the adventurous go through it and get muddy. That option is still available…
Our mission is to help improve the forest for the increased benefit and enjoyment of the public. And we continue to do so!
