About

The Friends of Oscar Scherer is a non-profit organization working to support Oscar Scherer State Park, a natural area in Osprey along the Tamiami Trail. As an officially designated Citizen Support Organization, the group raises funds through events and grants to improve park facilities and equipment. The park itself offers multiple ways to experience the landscape: campsites and glamping accommodations available for reservation, canoe and kayak rentals arranged through a local outfitter, and a Nature Center with varying hours. The organization operates under Department of Environmental Protection oversight, connecting the community to conservation work and outdoor recreation in this part of Sarasota County.
