There’s no better way to ensure the future of state parks and forests than getting involved in their protection. The success of our parks depends on the participation of individuals in enhancing and protecting local state parks and forests. Share your enthusiasm and support for your parks with your friends, neighbors, fellow citizen, and visitors.
There are virtually limitless volunteer opportunities at parks across the region. Volunteers can participate in cleanups, trail work, planting flowers, leading programs and more. Speak directly with the staff at the park at which you would like to volunteer, or visit the park’s website for details.
