UF @ Milton Student Club

Accomplishments and Community Service

We are a group of University of Florida Students dedicated to contributing to the improvement of campus, community, and human life. We focus our efforts toward making positive impacts on our immediate environment and and neighboring communities.

Please check out more information below to find out what we're doing and how you can get involved...We'd love for you to join us!

Arbor Day Tree Plantings

The student club donated a variety of trees [mostly oaks, spruce, and hollies] valued near $500 to the students of Pace High School for planting on Arbor Day...just another example of student groups working together to give back to the community and environment.

Disc Golf Hole and Nature Trail Sponsorship

The Pirates Cove (nine-hole disc golf course) is open thanks in part to the UF @ Milton Student Club's sponsorship of one of the holes. This is the first nine holes of what will eventually be a 27-hole interperative disc golf course on the PJC/UF Milton Campus. The Student Club has chosen to sponsor hole #8...it is affectionately know as Devilwood Den. The club has also sponsored a hole on the technical disc golf course appropriately titled the Gator Links. Hole number 7 has been sponsored and the club intends to remove invasive plants such as black ti-ti from the seepage slope and create an observation deck for educational purposes. The club is working on educational 'nature bites' for the nature trail signage that will highlight environmental facts along the disc golf trail.

International Gator Day

In May 2005 the UF-Milton Student Club participated in a wonderful event with the Northwest Florida Gator Club called International Gator Day.  Students had a rewarding experience installing bedding plants at the visitor’s center near the three-mile bridge in Pensacola. In 2006 the Club continued their involvement with Gator Alumni at the 2006 International Gator Day held May 20, 2006. The activity involved planting colorful bedding plants and durable shrubs and trees along with a dressing of mulch at two Habitat for Humanity homes in Milton. The addresses were 6808 and 6802 Ferris Hill Street. Club participants included Jude Groninger, Kathryn Campbell, Darlene Bonelli, and James Gibson. After a hard days work Gator Alumni provided shirts and sweatbands to the participants. We hope that this event helped spread the word about the great things GATORS do for their community. GO GATORS! The tradition continued in 2007, as the Student club and Gator Club joined forces again for another Habitat for Humanity project in Pensacola!
