Set along the roadside, with green bushes, a mountain and blue sky are set behind a brown wooden sign that reads "Girl Scouts love State Parks is back!". A smaller sign in front of the wooden sign reads 'Girl Scouts love State Parks' with a river and mountain scenery.

Volunteer Event - Thinning - Forest Health

Riverside State Park - Bowl & Pitcher

We will be using hand saws and loppers to remove small diameter trees within large clusters of tree stands off of Tr. 211. Removing trees within this dense canopy will allow more space, water, and light for more mature trees to grow larger. From the Bowl and Pitcher parking lot, it is less than a 1/2 mile hike into the site where we will be cutting.
