Celebrate National Volunteer Week at Indiana state parks

If you’re looking for a place to donate your time for National Volunteer Week, Indiana state parks have the answer. From maintaining trails to helping in a nature center, there are many opportunities for people to celebrate the week, which is April 7 to 13, and give back to the outdoors.

“Volunteering gives you a great sense of accomplishment,” said Jody Heaston, state parks volunteer coordinator. “You know you are helping manage and conserve our natural and cultural resources for future generations to enjoy.”
