About us
Wekiva Wilderness Trust is a Citizen Support Organization — a dedicated team of volunteers and board members who support the work of the Wekiva River Basin state parks, and whose members and leadership volunteer at and lead park activities, host and assist in educational opportunities and, in general, bolster the excellent work of our state parks. We provide additional support for administration, maintenance, protection, resource management, and visitor services.
We are a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization providing resource-based recreation while preserving, interpreting and restoring natural and cultural resources.
The Park System we serve is comprised of Wekiwa Springs State Park, Rock Springs Run State Reserve, and Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park. We work with the park staff to protect and preserve the almost 50,000 acres of Real Florida.
We host hikes, lectures and classes, Junior Ranger meetups, and other nature-centered activities.
Most all events are free with park admission, and are open to all ages! Note: Wekiwa Springs State Park events require a reservation.

Survival Boot Camp
Rock Springs Run State Reserve, off Wekiva River Road, Sorrento, fl, USThe Wekiva Wilderness Trust is holding its next basic survival boot camp on Saturday, June 20, from 9:30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. at Rock Springs Run State Reserve in Sorrento, off State Road 46.
This family-friendly course has been designed so that everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency. All the techniques are vital skills to use in the great outdoors. The boot camp will cover survival basics, field first aid, foraging for food and water, hands-on fire lighting, building a shelter, plus rope, and basket weaving from natural materials, and navigation.
Apart from water, bug spray, sunscreen, and lunch, each participant is asked to bring a knife, about 20 feet of strong string, cord, or similar, and two large black garbage bags.
The cost for the workshop is $10 a person (a donation to WWT) which will be collected on the day - cash only.
If you have questions, email info@wwt-cso.com.
The entrance to Rock Springs Run State Reserve is off Wekiva River Road, which runs south from SR 46. See the directions below.14 attendees
