- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Please join us at Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center, as we observe Family Volunteer Day, a global day of service that celebrates the power of families who work together to support their communities and neighborhoods.
At Jones Park we have a replica of an 1830's pioneer settlement and a Native American village. These historical buildings are utilized year round for elementary school field trips, day camps, and community festivals. We are seeking volunteers to assist with several construction projects to support these educational events. A few of these construction projects are: replacing the clay/straw filler (chinking) between cabin logs, repairing the log cabin’s roof and building an outhouse, a wood shop, a cabin add-on, and a fence for the new vegetable garden.
No experience is necessary. Tools and supplies are provided.
Volunteers under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent/guardian that volunteers alongside them.
