On March 2, 2008, Friends of the Everglades will hold it's 2nd Annual Glades Walk. The event, a walk-a-thon/bike-a-thon, is being held to raise funds for Friends' Everglades education and advocacy programs and give members and the public a chance to come together to see what we are fighting to preserve. Participants will have the option of participating on foot or by bicycle at the Shark Valley entrance to Everglades National Park.

The event is an informal, at your own pace, family friendly tour of of the hammock and Glades in Everglades National Park (walk/ride anywhere from 2-15 miles). All you have to do is download a registration form, collect sponsors and send it all in to Friends of the Everglades. Top sponsor/donation collectors will be honored at Friends of the Everglades Annual Meeting in April 2008.
