Hi Folks,
Your State Parks Day is rapidly approaching!
September 26 starting at 10 am
With Friends of Sweetwater Creek State Park We'll be offering multiple vounteer oppertunities with varying difficulty.
Here are the teams:
Reservoir Team
Team Leader - Ranger Fox
5 to 8 volunteers on the lake cleaning up trash in the reservoir. Life vests are required to be worn at all times. Pre-registration is required for this team to ensure the right number of kayaks are available. You may bring your own kayak.
Fisherman Trails Team
Team Leader - Ranger Rohm
5 - 10 volunteers following fishermen made trails around the reservoir and through the park. These will be hard and steep cowboy trails, and you may be fighting through vegetation, however there will likely be lots of trash to collect.
Invasive Plants Team
Team Leader - Greg K
5 - 10 volunteers working on invasive species removal with a special focus on Privet and Stilt Grass on Purple and/or White trails. We will provide 5-gallon buckets to use as a seat, or you can bring your own. The majority of the time will be spent bent over close to the ground using your hands and possibly some hand clippers to locate and remove the invasive plants we are targeting.
Bait Shop Team
Team Leader - TBD
5 - 10 volunteers at the bait shop to pick up litter. This will be an easy walk around the parking lot and shore.
Red & Purple Trails Team
Team Leader - TBD
5 - 10 volunteers walking the Red and Purple trails picking up trash. Easy to Moderate hike to and along the creek. There will be lots of trash in this area.
