Volunteer Programs

Whether you are a member of a bike club, fly fishing club, canoe club, Scout troop, vo-ag group, environmental club, Upward Bound, or Good Sam’s, opportunities abound in state parks and fishing access sites for any group seeking a community service activity.

Typical duties are:

  • building and maintaining trails,
  • building and removing fences,
  • planting trees, and
  • cleaning up a site.
Volunteer Programs.

These activities can be done on a special volunteer day organized by the park, through an " adopt-a-site" program, or an event that you organize. For more details, contact the park manager of the site where you are interested in volunteering.

Special Volunteer Days

Cleanup, weed pulling, trail buidling and other volunteer events are often planned in state parks and fishing access sites on Earth Day, National Trails Day, Get Outdoors Day, Global Youth Service Day, National River Cleanup Week, and National Public Lands Day. See the Annual Events page for details of events already planned. If you or your organization are interested in planning your own event in a state park or fishing access site, please contact the manager of that site.
