This is a private volunteer opportunity for BlackRock.
Thank you to park neighbor and regular volunteer group BlackRock for joining Bellevue State Park for an Earth Day 2023 service event!
Every day is Earth Day in Delaware State Parks. The division places extra emphasis on the occasion this month, however — the holiday falls on April 22. This year, Earth Day caps National Volunteer Week, which is April 16-22. Delaware State Parks could not accomplish what we do without our volunteers!
