Trash Trekkers: Douglas Center
Lend a hand in our drop-in litter clean up program. Simply check in at the Paul H. Doulas Center to receive trash bags, then choose from one of our many beach areas or hiking trails to collect trash. Visitors are awaited with a free, reusable water bottle for filling up their bags. Please leave trash at a trash can on the site you hiked.
This is part our drop-in program, a no-hassle volunteering option for those looking to give a few hours of their time.
For other opportunities in volunteering at the Indiana Dunes National Park, please visit The Park Connection volunteer page.
