Volunteer Orientation & Training offered on March 1st.

Paris Mountain State Park will hold a School Program Volunteer Orientation on Monday, March 1. from 9 a.m. 'til 2 p.m.

School Program Volunteers are naturalists at heart who want to share the wonders of nature with 2nd and 5th graders, in the park’s Discover Carolina school programs. Some volunteers assist students with their measurements and observations down at the creek.

Some volunteers with a naturalist background lead 2nd graders on a nature hike around Lake Placid. Some lead 5th graders in the use of a Creative Writing Journal at the park, or assist in a Forest Ecology program.

At the March 1 session, the park’s interpretive ranger and seasoned volunteers will train participants for the spring season, from 9 a.m. till 2 p.m. Registration required.

For registration and information, call the office at (864)244-5565, or email the interpretive ranger at ctaylor@scprt.com Participants should bring a bag lunch.
