Hurricane Recovery Support
Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022, within 10 miles of Lovers Key State Park as a category 5 hurricane. The park was severely damaged from the winds of 150 mph and a 12 foot plus storm surge. This damage caused the park to be closed for reconstruction. In 2024 two additional hurricanes, Helene and Milton severely damaged the park . While the park has partially reopened, and Friends of Lovers Key programs have partially restarted, our efforts have been focused on assisting the park recover from the hurricanes through fund raising and assistance in the replacement of equipment and supplies.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$99.6KWhat You See on the Land, Lands in the Sea
