Pathway for Warriors’ primary mission is to save and restore Florida’s native ecosystem.
Our Primary Mission:
Removal of Invasive Species - IRIS
Florida is facing an escalating ecological crisis as invasive species—most notably Burmese pythons, tegu lizards, and other destructive non-native predators—rapidly spread through its delicate habitats, overwhelming native wildlife and destabilizing entire ecosystems.
Federal and State governmental agencies estimate that the Burmese Python has devoured 99% of the raccoons, the bobcats and the opossums; and 100% of the Marsh Rabbits in South Florida.
As the native prey are wiped out in South Florida, the Burmese Pythons and other invasive predators will be moving north into central and north Florida. It is estimated that the Burmese Python population may be around 300,000, as we move into 2026.
Feral hogs are wreaking havoc on Florida’s land and ecosystems.
Invasive plants are overpowering and disrupting the native plants and tress in parts of Florida.
In addition, the Lion fish are wreaking havoc on the Florida native fish species along our coastline and reefs; having reduced those fish populations significantly.
The true pathway forward
Together, we’re building a movement where veterans heal the land—and themselves.
Pathway for Warriors was born from the recognition that too many veterans return home without the structure, purpose, or support they once relied on, leaving them adrift in a world that doesn’t always understand their struggles.
Programs That Restore Lives and Protect Florida
In addition to its environmental efforts, Pathway for Warriors is deeply committed to rebuilding the lives of veterans in Florida who are transitioning from active duty without transferable job skills, as well as homeless veterans who have lost their way.
Comprehensive Care for Those Who Served
Pathway for Warriors is dedicated to ensuring that every veteran it serves has access to comprehensive healthcare by partnering with qualified private providers who can meet a full range of medical, behavioral, and rehabilitative needs.
Through the strategic use of VA Mission Act funding, Pathway for Warriors will help veterans receive timely, complete, and coordinated care beyond what traditional systems alone can provide. This approach ensures that each veteran receives the support necessary to heal, thrive, and sustain long-term well-being.
