Alapocas Run State Park welcomes volunteers who would like to help care for its treasured Storybook Trail!
The Storybook Trail is adjacent to Alapocas Run State Park’s popular and cherished Can-Do Playground. It features a new children’s story every month, and its garden beds are home to a plethora of native plants and serve a plurality of pollinators.
Primary duties:
- Report safety concerns or damages
- Remove fallen branches and other debris
- Wipe off or clean storyboards
- Weed garden beds and the rubber mulch trail
- Cut back tree suckers and plants encroaching on trails
- Remove dead or damaged plants
- Pick up litter
- Submit simple reports (template provided) and service time
Needs can be significant after weather events.
Members of the Storybook Trail Stewardship Team may also be invited to work on special group projects for the site.
Scheduling is flexible:
- Members may serve when it fits their schedules or schedule times on their own to work with other members.
- This is a year-round opportunity.
Visitors who enjoy exploring the Storybook Trail and Can-Do Playground with their favorite young people, are passionate about the importance of these special spaces, and/or are interested in the pollination cycle and stewardship of the local ecosystem are excellent candidates to volunteer with the Storybook Trail Stewardship Team!
Note: If you respond to this opportunity, you will be contacted about next steps.
