Join us in remembering the true reason for Memorial Day. We are looking for people to support us by joining our team and walking the Carry the Load 5K. Sarge will be participating as the load being carried by the Avian Veteran Alliance Team. It is free to participate, but donations for Carry the Load and/or the Avian Veteran Alliance are welcome.
After the walk, we will also be available for meet and greet, as well as photos with Sarge and some of our screech owls. Signed copies of the Vets and Pets book & Sarge merchandise will be available for purchase.
Sign up to be on our team HERE.

Who we are.
The Friends of Largo Nature Parks is an independent group that helps provide the public with an opportunity to explore the natural world. We host a variety of events throughout the year to engage and inspire those curious to learn more - including, but not limited to family camp-outs, the 5k Turtle Trot, and Nature in the Classroom. The Nature in the Classroom program reaches out to nearly 5,000 kids in Pinellas County Schools each year!
Currently, twenty-four beautiful birds of prey call the George C. McGough Nature Park their home. These birds have injuries or conditions that prevent their return to the wild, but they live colorful lives with us at the park as ambassadors for their species. Not only do they team up with volunteers to reach out and educate, the birds also provide a therapeutic experience for wounded veterans through the Avian Veteran Alliance.
We are financially responsible for the Birds of Prey program. Your donations are what keeps us going. Please consider adopting a raptor or making a donation. The Friends of the Largo Nature Parks is a 501(c) 3 organization registered with the State of Florida, and - yes - your donation is tax deductible within context of the law.
