Is your organization considering a community-service project in Big Bend? Here are some tips:

• Call us with as much advance notice as possible. Two months is the minimum advance notice for organizing a work project.
• Smaller groups of 10-15 volunteers are optimal for work projects at Big Bend.
• Vigilent, engaged leaders are a key to the success of volunteer work groups.
• Ability to dedicate at least six hours to a service project.
• Be flexible on your dates and, if possible, schedule your work days on weekdays.
• During our peak periods (November, December, and March) we do not have the available resources to accommodate service projects.
• Plan on bringing your own camping equipment.
