This fall, we invited our social media followers to share their favorite nature photos from the Wekiva Basin, and we were blown away by what came in. From peaceful spring runs to wildlife and memories made out in the basin, these photos remind us why so many of us love this place, and why it’s worth protecting.
A huge thank-you to everyone who shared!

Florida Field Club is a nonprofit dedicated to connecting children to conservation. Each month, they publish a Field Guide exploring a different part of Florida and host a hands-on Field Mission day there. In October, their focus was the Wekiva River! Their kid-friendly guide explores the river’s springs, wildlife and history, and their Field Mission brought young volunteers to Wekiwa Springs State Park to help remove invasive plants. Thank you, Florida Field Club, for inspiring the next generation of Wekiva stewards!
