In celebration of National Parks Week and Earth Day (April 22), Everglades National Park is offering a variety of programs from April 19 to April 25.

Everglades National Park and the National Parks Conservation Association are presenting a special event on Earth Day as part of the National Park Week Celebration. This event kicks off the new online education course Eco-Mariner Florida Bay, which was designed to help boaters and anglers enjoy and preserve Florida Bay. The premiere will be held at Green Turtle Hammock (81224 Overseas Highway) in Islamorada.

The Eco-Mariner course and Earth Day activities include free hammock walks, kayak tours, boat tours, educational talks and more.

National Parks Week offers many other opportunities for families and individuals to experience great wildlife viewing, bird watching and boating opportunities at Everglades National Park. Both free and concession-operated activities are offered around the 1.5 million acre park.
