In addition to printing the kits, Natalie’s will give away up to 200 Florida State Parks Annual Entrance Passes throughout the year, as well as attend several major park events to provide complimentary juice to park visitors.

With this program, we encourage everyone to get outdoors and enjoy Mother Nature’s beauty and wonder with Natalie’s as a part of your journey.”

“It is so exciting to team up with one of Florida’s most respected companies to support and enhance the Florida State Parks Junior Ranger Program,” said Julia Gill Woodward, Florida State Parks Foundation CEO. “Natalie’s is making an amazing commitment to our state’s natural and cultural resources while also helping to create connections between young people and the springs, beaches, trails, ecosystems and historic sites that make Florida special.”

Since its founding over 30 years ago, Natalie’s has focused on family, community, and Florida agriculture. Further to these values, the Natalie’s and Florida State Parks Foundation synergistic partnership is one that reflects an unparalleled pairing of creating authentic experiences and cherished memories while exploring the mind-body ecosystem connection and enhancing an active lifestyle with a FRESH perspective. Both organizations are dedicated to providing support to the surrounding communities and an unyielding passion for sharing the world-class culture and parks found within the state of Florida.
