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

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

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.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
