Join Jane Pollack from the Florida Trail Association for a special film screening of O2O: The Path to Connection. Stay afterward to discover how the Florida Trail mission aligns with the need for a connected wildlife corridor across the state.
The O2O Expedition showcases three veterans who embarked on a 57-mile journey through the Florida Wildlife Corridor, connecting the Ocala and Osceola National Forests. Their 4-day adventure, captured in a 25-minute film, includes paddling the Ocklawaha River and biking/hiking along segments of the Florida National Scenic Trail. The film highlights the profound connection between nature and wellness, the conservation compatibility of military installations, and the accessibility of outdoor spaces for all.
The O2O expedition embodies the vital connections that can determine the preservation or loss of the Florida Wildlife Corridor, a 100-mile-long, 1.6-million-acre landscape that bridges the Ocala and Osceola National Forests. The Florida National Scenic Trail, a 1,500-mile federally designated trail, spans from Big Cypress National Preserve to Gulf Islands National Seashore. The Florida Trail Association is dedicated to developing, maintaining, protecting, and promoting this iconic trail.
