Indiana Dunes National Park and Indiana Dunes Tourism have partnered to offer Drop-In Volunteering, a no-hassle volunteer option for those looking to help out at the Indiana Dunes. Opportunities will be available nearly every day of the week and will include stewardship, restoration, park clean-up, and more.
On Saturday, December 17, and on the third Saturday of every month, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, meet at the Park Connection Office, near the Chellberg Farm parking lot, for a morning of volunteering and stewardship in your national park.
In addition, the “Trash Trekkers” program is offered daily, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Just stop by the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center (1215 North State Road 49, Porter, Indiana). grab a trash bag and help keep our beaches and trails clean.
No formal commitment is necessary; simply drop-in at any of these locations during program hours to get started. Remember to dress appropriately for the work you will be doing; wear comfortable outdoor clothing and, depending on the weather, bring sunscreen, bug spray and water. The national park will provide gear and training to anyone interested in lending a hand to help preserve the Indiana Dunes.
