Service Project

Coastal Prairie Trail

February 18, 2018

Miami Platoon

Event overview

Join us as we restore a step back in time as we walk this old road once used by cotton pickers and fishermen. Open prairies of succulent coastal plants dotted with shady buttonwoods surround you as you journey towards the shore of Florida Bay. The hurricanes devastated this natural habitat and we can get together and make a difference. Spend a few hours with us as we clean up and restore a portion of the trail that is used to educate school children on a variety of environmental topics. This is a critical part of our Florida eco-system. The trail begins at the rear of Loop "C" of the Flamingo Campground.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
