MLK Day of Service: Volunteer at State Parks
Indiana Ag Connection - 01/21/2019

Honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by volunteering to serve at one of Indiana's state parks in 2019.

There are many roles in which people's talent is needed, from maintaining trails to entering computer data to helping in the nature centers.

"Volunteering gives you a great sense of accomplishment," said Jody Heaston, volunteer coordinator for Indiana State Parks. "You know you are helping manage and conserve our natural and cultural resources for future generations to enjoy."

For more information, visit stateparks.IN.gov/2443.htm. Download an application and return it to the state park or lake where you want to volunteer. Send the application to jheaston@dnr.IN.gov if you don't have a particular park in mind.

Jan. 21 is a state holiday and because of that, property offices and most nature centers will be closed. Self-directed service such as walking trails and picking up litter on that day is welcome. Check with the park to see if other self-directed volunteer opportunities are available.
