Volunteer Event - Riverside - Install Trail Signage
The Deep Creek Interpretive Loop trail is a 2-mile loop through moderately steep terrain in a very rocky area. Volunteers have already removed the old signage, and we will work on installing 9 new interpretive signs along the trail. This will include digging holes, setting the new post, and attaching the new signage.

Volunteer Event - Riverside - Forest Health Thinning
Proper spacing between trees reduces overcrowding and maintains health and vigor within a forest. This also helps reduce the intensity of wildfires, severe infestations of insects and disease, and competition between the trees for water & nutrients. These benefits extend beyond the State Park boundaries – private landowners who own properties adjacent to the thinned areas will also face a reduced fire risk and enjoy a more diverse forest ecosystem just past their backyards.
