Event Description:
Volunteers will meet Park Assistant Doug Robertson outside of the main building at the entry station where he’ll sign them. After signing in, volunteers will be directed to where to park for litter pick-up efforts. Volunteers should be prepared to work in the early morning heat of the spring and summer picking up litter along the shoreline and throughout the park as directed by Doug Robertson. Volunteers should be heat tolerant and mindful of their walking and hiking ability.
