VOLUNTEER
WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO HELP WITH OUR PARKS' EFFORTS
Volunteer Opportunities
Get outdoors! Join the Timucuan Parks Foundation in helping the parks with volunteer shoreline and park cleanups and trail maintenance.
For all projects, volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes and it is highly recommended that they bring sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, sunglasses and a reusable water bottle. Tools, work gloves, water, and Nature Valley granola bars will be provided.
Volunteers must follow all park rules and policies as well as promote and exhibit safe behavior at all times. Due to COVID-19 precautions, cleanup groups will be limited to 50 participants and masks will be required except for children under 6 years old or for those with respiratory issues.
Children under 16 must be supervised by their parent/guardian or scout leader during the project. Anyone under 18 years old must have signature of parent/guardian on liability waiver prior to starting work.
