- We have a small team of volunteers who have been detailing the vans and tour bus. They are meeting on Fridays @ 9:00 am at the Visitor Center for about an hour each week.
- The volunteer maintenance crew meets @ 8:00 am at various locations on Wednesdays to mow and trim the picnic areas.
- There are always volunteer projects on the weekends either Saturday &/or Sunday. Typical projects are graffiti removal, trail maintenance and removing invasive plants.
- There is a need for Visitor Center volunteers and for interpretive tour volunteers – drivers, leaders and assists.
- The Nature Store can also use volunteers on Saturdays, Sundays and all holidays.
