Tampa Bay Basecamp

Local Hive of Positive Change

Overview

As Florida’s largest open water estuary, the Tampa Bay area comprises miles of shoreline and a unique ecosystem. The Tampa Bay Basecamp of Roots & Shoots supports youth-led efforts to restore and protect our environment, as well as the animals and people who live here. In September 2024, we hosted the area’s first youth environment summit to inspire local action.  Individuals or groups are encouraged to get in touch to learn more about starting a Roots & Shoots project.
