From the Indiana Department of Natural Resources:
From maintaining trails to entering computer data, Hoosiers can
celebrate National Volunteer Week, April 6-12, by donating their time
and talent to Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs.
"Volunteering gives you a great sense of accomplishment,” said Jody Heaston, volunteer coordinator for DNR Division of State Parks & Reservoirs. “You know you are helping manage and conserve our natural and cultural resources for future generations to enjoy.”
Heaston said she hopes many volunteers from National Volunteer week will “catch the giving-back spirit” and continue to volunteer with Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs.
