National parks in south Florida are open for business thanks to a collaboration of groups/South Florida National Parks Trust

A collaboration in Florida has formed to keep national parks there open and clean. 

Despite a lack of park rangers, the parks are not buried in trash thanks to the efforts of park partners such as the Florida National Parks Association, Guest Services, Shark Valley Tram Tours, Yankee Freedom III and the South Florida National Parks Trust.

The association has been cleaning bathrooms, collecting trash and staffing visitor centers since the shutdown began December 22. Tour operators in Flamingo, Shark Valley, Gulf Coast, Dry Tortugas and Biscayne Bay have been taking care of business as well, with a full schedule of park tours and services, despite the loss of critical park support.
