Boy Scout Troop 895 and leader, Steve Kamm, visited Ichetucknee Springs State Park and was so impressed with the park experience that the troop was inspired to make an on-line donation to the Friends of Florida State Parks asking the money to be used to benefit Ichetucknee.  His note accompanying the donation:

 "Our troop just visited Ichetucknee Springs and had a great time.  We hope this helps so others can enjoy the Springs as well."

At the request of park staff the money was used to purchase 10 Bushnell binoculars and plastic storage bins to keep them safely housed when not in use.

There is no doubt that equipment, such as binoculars, enhances the learning experience and can be the difference between a “ho-hum” or an engaging “WOW” experience.  Thank you, Troop 895!

You can make a difference too by donating here and be sure to designate Yellow Buses in the Parks Project
