- Duties include talking to visitors and providing information about hiking, scenic drives, and general forest information.
- Volunteers also help maintain the flush-operated bathrooms on site which includes replenishing toilet paper, cleaning surfaces, picking up litter and emptying garbage receptacles.
- This position could also include conservation education and interpretation opportunities if the volunteer has interest. Examples would include setting out animal skulls at the cabin and giving impromptu programs to visitors.
This position is a work camper position – Volunteers MUST bring their own RV or Travel Trailer AND be able to commit from mid-May through mid-October in exchange for a campsite with hookups. (couples encouraged to apply)
A full hookup campsite (water, sewer, 50 amp electric) is provided.
