Tennessee State Park is again partnering with NEEF and Maria Lee’s Tennessee Serves initiative to offer volunteer opportunities during a 10-day timespan, celebrating service to our wonderful state parks.
The theme this year is “Caring for Our Shared America” aligning and partnering with America 250 America Gives campaign to generate the largest volunteer effort in US history! “Centering on the simple ideas of caring for these places connects past, present, and future. NPLD offers Americans a tangible way to take part in the nation’s story. Whether removing invasive plants from a Civil War battlefield, restoring trails in a national forest, or cleaning up a local park, volunteers connect everyday service to places that hold shared history and meaning.”
Join Ranger Rooker at Cove Lake State Park to install water breaks and perform general trail maintenance on Cove Lake's newest trail, the Wheeler Cemetery Trail. Participants will meet at the park's Visitor Center and be directed where to drive to the cemetery's trailhead to begin the work.
Please bring plenty of water, wear closed-toe shoes, and bring work gloves if possible. The park will have some gloves to lend out but in limited quantities.
All ages are welcome to attend, children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
