Nature Center Staffing
Every year the Friends of White Clay Creek State Park organize a project to help staff the Chambers House Nature Center on Saturdays and Sundays from April through November. This makes it possible for the Nature Center to remain open to visitors for the weekends during the Park’s busiest seasons. Each year our volunteers spend 250 hours or more welcoming visitors to the Nature Center.
New volunteers are needed each year to replace people who leave or are unable to continue with the project. Volunteer activities include: welcoming visitors, providing them with information, answering questions, performing tasks to help the Nature Center function smoothly, answering the phone, or helping someone on the naturalist staff get ready for a program.
What do volunteers enjoy about the project?
- - Satisfaction of doing something that directly benefits the Park and its visitors
- - Learning more about the Park’s history, natural features and programs
- - Meeting and interacting with interesting people
- - Spending a few hours in our beautiful Park
