Volunteer: General One Day Projects

Auburn Valley State Park has a need for volunteers willing to be contacted when there are one or even day projects to do at the park.  This would include cleaning out a building or doing some cleaning inside a building, planting trees and other projects that come up.  As projects come up, I would email you and ask if you are interested and available to assist, along with the details of the project. 

You would be a wonderful resource for us to have.
