Volunteer opportunities are back!
The Partners are looking for volunteers to work stations in the Boxley Valley area this Fall! Stations will be set up along the Boxley Valley to assist visitors. Information, visual aids, safety vests, and tents will be provided. This will be an opportunity to help visitors get the most of their experience and for you to share your own knowledge about Buffalo National River!
Please recruit your friends and share on your social media to help us fill these spots. We need eight volunteers each day. Volunteers will meet at the Lost Valley parking lot at 9:30 am for assignments and supplies for your work location. Volunteers should bring lunch, drinks and folding chairs.
Volunteer stations include:
Lost Valley
Hwy. 43 Elk Pullout
Boxley Mill
Ponca Low Water Bridge
Please sign up using this link, check which location you would like to volunteer. Please note the dates you are volunteering for in the message box!
This fall is sure to be another doozy. It would be tremendous to have two volunteers per duty location (see below) per weekend day in October to best serve park visitors.
As a reminder, here are the primary volunteer duties at each location:
Lost Valley: parking/traffic control, radio communications, providing trail maps and area information, keeping count of visitor contacts (using a clicker)
Elk Viewing Area: elk education, distributing park information (Junior Ranger books, river maps, Leave No Trace cards, hunting guidebooks), helping visitors with wayfinding and suggesting outdoor activities in the area, keeping count of visitor contacts
Boxley Mill: welcoming guests, providing information/answering questions about the mill, giving guided tours, distributing park information, keeping count of visitor contacts.
Please remember to log your hours afterwards. Log Hours
