JOSEPH — Wallowa Lake State Park rangers are seeking 50 volunteers to celebrate both State Parks Day and National Trails Day through volunteer service.

Volunteers will join park staff to improve the Nature Trail at the state park on Saturday, June 4. Work includes blocking social trails, cutting back overgrown limbs on the official trail and lining the official trail where it is hard to follow.

Volunteers will work with hand tools and move on gravel and uneven surfaces. Tools and other equipment will be provided. Bring drinking water and gloves and wear clothes suitable for the weather conditions.

Participants must register by June 1. To sign up, go to www.store.oregonstateparks.org, click on “Tours/Events” and scroll down to choose the Wallowa Lake volunteer event.

The 100 Volunteer Projects for 100 Years series commemorates the Oregon State Parks centennial, and there are a variety of volunteer opportunities scheduled in 2022. Those who participate will contribute to the legacy of service that has sustained the state parks system for the past century.
