Volunteers help park with Spring Clean-up!

On Monday 3/3, an NCCC AmeriCorps team assisted park staff in getting ready for summer! On a beautiful summer-like day with the songs of spring peepers in the background, the team of 9 worked diligently to clean the YCC, weed the butterfly garden, replace more than 100 luminaries, scrub down canoes and kayaks and secure them on the new trailer. After completion of the project, the team enjoyed a leisurely hike through the park’s Fresh Water Marsh area, Tulip Tree Woods and Indian Springs Trails. The team is in training in Perry Point Maryland and will be deployed to the Gulf later this week for several months of disaster relief service.

A special thanks to Glen Stubbolo for coordinating these teams and thanks to the park staff for their assistance in this project!
