The Friends of Oscar Scherer Park Inc.

Oscar Scherer State Park is a Florida State Park located between Sarasota and Venice, near Osprey, amidst the heavily-developed southwest Florida coast.
The park's genesis was in 1955, when Elsa Scherer Burrows, owner of the 462-acre (1.87 km2) South Creek Ranch, died. Her will left the ranch to the state to form a park. It was to be dedicated to the memory of her father, Oscar Scherer, the developer of a shoe leather dyeing process in 1872. A year later, the park was ready and opened to visitors. - in: wikipédia
A large acreage of scrubby flatwoods makes this park one of the best places to
see Florida scrub-jays, a threatened species found only in Florida. The park
protects scrubby and pine flatwoods that were once widespread throughout
Sarasota County. Fifteen miles of trails through these beautiful natural areas
provide opportunities for hiking, bicycling, and wildlife viewing. Canoeists and
kayakers can paddle along South Creek, a blackwater stream that flows to the
Gulf of Mexico. - in: http://www.floridastateparks.org/oscarscherer/
