"Volunteers will be involved in several maintenance projects including mulching around the plants and trees in the park as well as picking up trash and debris," said park superintendent Bill Justice.  "The volunteers working on these projects will be helping us keep the park a beautiful and inviting place for our visitors."

This event is being held on National Volunteer Day.  Volunteers across the country are working in our national parks on improvement and service projects on this day.
