We are currently looking for volunteers to help clean up litter and trash at Rock City State Forest. Specifically, we need assistance at the Camp Seneca Day Use Area on Hungry Hollow Road and the Little Rock City Day Use Area on Little Rock City Forest Road.
These areas tend to get busy with visitors, especially on summer weekends and holidays. If you can give us enough notice, the DEC may arrange for the collected trash to be removed. Otherwise, it will be up to our volunteers to dispose of the trash properly.
In addition to cleaning up, volunteers can also help report any trail or forest conditions that may need attention. For your safety and protection, volunteers will need to sign a Volunteer application to ensure coverage under DEC workers compensation.
If you'd like to learn more about our organization, please visit morganduke.ng. Any questions can be directed to Jsullivan@morgandukecs.ngo. To sign up as a volunteer, simply click on the "fill in an application" button on our website and create a username and password to get started. We appreciate your willingness to help make Rock City State Forest a cleaner and more enjoyable place for all visitors. Thank you!

Mission Statement
The Morgan Duke Conservation Society operates as a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) environmental conservation organization. Our primary objective revolves around safeguarding, enriching, and upholding the integrity of natural resources and ecosystems situated within untamed woodlands and forest preserves. These areas currently confront an array of challenges, notably issues related to overcrowding that are pervasive across wild forests and forest preserves nationwide. Simultaneously, we are dedicated to establishing and nurturing wildlife habitats tailored to species reliant on nascent woodlands. Moreover, we are committed to rehabilitating vegetation that has suffered due to human intervention. This multifaceted mission is achieved through diligent research, impactful educational initiatives, and proactive stewardship agreements.
Description
James Sullivan, the President and Founder of the Morgan Duke Conservation Society, established the organization in response to a poignant experience he had while camping in a small, pristine recreational area within the southeastern region of the Adirondack Preserve in 2006, and on subsequent occasions. Witnessing numerous challenges plaguing this locale-ranging from litter accumulation to vegetation destruction caused by vehicular intrusion and vandalism-he felt compelled to take action. In 2013, James Sullivan formalized his commitment by establishing the Morgan Duke Conservation Society. Initially consisting of merely six volunteers, which included himself and his family, their efforts were concentrated on the aforementioned recreation area during the summer months of each year. During these camping excursions, they diligently collaborated with forest rangers, engaging in activiti es such as afforestation, litter removal, and restoration painting.
