Florida Trail Association - Big Cypress Chapter

Miami, FL

Florida Trail Association - Big Cypress Chapter

The Big Cypress Chapter of the Florida Trail Association serves Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.  We are an outdoor adventure and eco-volunteering group.  Our activities include hiking, backpacking, camping, biking, and paddling events throughout the year ranging from easy to strenuous, local to regional.  We focus on outdoor activities in South Florida.  Chartered in 1981, the Big Cypress Chapter of the Florida Trail Association has been home to some of the first and most long-term members of the Florida Trail Association, including Florida Trail founder Jim Kern.  Designated as a National Scenic Trail, the Big Cypress section of the Florida Trail is part of the original trail walked by Jim Kern on his first exploratory hike in the mid-1960s and is one of the wildest segments of the Florida Trail.  Our chapter strives to introduce and inform the ever changing inhabitants of the major metropolitan area of Miami and of the Florida Keys about the Florida Trail and discovering the beauty and wonder of natural Florida.The Big Cypress chapter maintains the southernmost portion of the Florida Trail in Big Cypress National Preserve, with assistance from the Alligator Amblers chapter, based in the Fort Myers-Naples area. The Florida Trail in Big Cypress National Preserve is one of the state’s most rugged places to hike.  Winding through a haunting landscape of dwarf cypress rising from sawgrass, rare rocky islands topped with pine rocklands, colorful cypress sloughs festooned with dense bromeliads and orchids, and dense jungles of tall ferns.  Slipping and sliding on wet marl and wading through ankle-to-knee deep dark water is a norm, and both day hikes and extended backpacking trips must be carefully planned, but the rewards are great: immersing yourself in one of Florida’s most diverse preserves, you truly get in touch with the wilderness.
Membership on Meetup does not mean you are an FTA member.  Please consider joining our state organization at

The Childhood Nature Project

Miami, FL

The Childhood Nature Project
In 2011, **The Childhood Nature Project** (Former known as Buzzy Kids Playdates) a 501-C3 Non-For-Profit organization was stablished, gathering at that moment families attending the toddler's program at The Miami Beach Regional Library to offer different types of outdoor activities around Miami. As a result of the need of nature based activities in Miami, the playgroup families increased in number and in 2015, the first program was created: ***"IMAGINA a Parent and Child Institute"*** started with 6 families at Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon Park, gathering now around 80 families whom every year gathers twice a week at one of the different locations. Five years ago the second program became a reality after a long research and training process, with the support of the Small Community Grant from Children's Trust we were able to conceive ***"Adventures in the Forest"*** the First Forest Kindergarten in South Florida and became the beginning point of all the nature based education movement in Miami Dade. Our team is conformed by moms who registered in the program and with the time decided to complete our training to become Mentors or Facilitators in the organization. ***We have a diverse range of professional backgrounds but what unite us is our desire to advocate for childhood and the freedom in allowing our children to grow up and learn at their own pace based in their own interests.*** Our program rest on the following statements: • Encourage to Conquer without limits • Indirect interventions • Conscious and Positive Discipline  • Learning within Community At this meetup group you will find our events and other nature / outdoor related events around Miami. We don't host all the events listed here (except for the ones at our locations). Our main goal is to bring a calendar of nature related events around Miami for families interested on raising their children in close relationship with nature.
