Friends of Paynes Prairie, Inc. (FOPP) and Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park (PPPSP have launched a program to expand access to park events and officially established and maintained trails for all community members by acquiring an EcoRover All-Terrain Wheelchair and the trailer required to store and transport it. Interim funding has been secured for both chair and trailer and now FOPP is turning to the proven generosity of this community to fund this $20,000 program directly. Please click here to donate today, visit www.prairiefriends.org/donate, or mail a check to Friends of Paynes Prairie, Inc. at 100 Savannah Blvd., Micanopy, FL 32667.

Read all about EcoRover on its own website and see videos of EcoRover chairs in use here. Our community partner Alachua Conservation Trust (ACT) has also invited FOPP to refer to ACT's existing EcoRover program for further education and understanding.
