Service Project

Bosque Estatal de Piñones Beautification

September 19, 2020

09:00 AM - 04:00 PM ADT

Puerto Rico Platoon

Event overview

A wood trail, a diversity of trees, animals, and a breeze of fresh air is the perfect combination for a day in the outdoors and what you'll find at the Bosque Estatal de Piñones. In this state forest, you'll find the most extensive natural system of mangroves in all of Puerto Rico. Furthermore, while enjoying the trail, you’ll also find reefs, sea-grass meadows, salt flats, islets, and dunes. This natural wonderland is home to animals like crabs, sea turtles like the leather backs, and birds. In addition to its beauty, the DRNA park was one of the original military watch post, identifying enemies from a far. Since Hurricane Maria, the DRNA park of Bosque Estatal de Piñones, has been in need of support and restoration. We will be painting tables and chairs, constructing a wooden canopy and restoring a BBQ area for families and groups alike to enjoy in this natural area.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
