Groups of all kinds may help with park improvements such as trail
maintenance, tree planting, litter pick up, minor repairs, stream restoration, preparing
parks for summer visitors and more. Families, clubs, organizations, schools, businesses
and other groups are invited to volunteer at state parks. Groups also may participate
in annual volunteer events.
Boy and Girl Scout troops are a big part of the volunteer force at
Washington state parks. Scout leaders and troops provide valuable assistance to parks
while enjoying the great outdoors.
High school students, both groups and individuals, may be able to
fulfill their service requirement for graduation by arranging or participating in a
volunteer park improvement activity.
The Adopt-A-Park Program gives groups a chance to offer longer-term
care to their favorite parks. Adopt-A-Park groups are asked to commit to two or more
service projects in a given year or to an annual service project for two or more
consecutive years.
For more information about group volunteer opportunities, contact
your nearest state park or region office.
