*If you or anyone in your household are sick, waiting for Covid test results, and/or have tested positive for Covid (regardless of vaccination status) you are not eligible to volunteer at this time* A variety of non-native, invasive plant species are present in Montgomery Parks. By their nature, these plants can take over an area quickly and threaten our native plant communities and the wildlife that depends on them. Join one of our Weed Warrior workdays to learn how you can help control non-native, invasive plants and preserve the health of our parks! Instruction and tools will be provided. Workdays are held in parks throughout the county and are led by volunteer Weed Warrior Supervisors and/or park staff. To find out about upcoming workdays, visit the Montgomery Parks' Event Calendar at https://www.montgomeryparks.org/calendar/?v=1. Under "Filter by category" click on the "Weed Warrior" button to see our events.

Little Bennett Campground is hosting a spooky Haunted Trail this October, and needs volunteers to help it be the scariest place in the woods! We have two types of assignments: - Setup/Takedown volunteers will help anytime between 3p to 7pm on the weeknights before the trail officially opens; or 5 to 7pm and/or 8:30 to 9pm on Saturday nights. - Dress-up Volunteers will help on Saturdays from 5:30 t0 9pm. They will wear costumes and stand at assigned locations and follow a script. Other volunteers will help out behind the scenes. (See duties and requirements for more details) Campground guests will visit each of the 10 sites along the trail, where the volunteers will be stationed to do their scariest! There will be a volunteer orientation before the trail opens to the campground guests. This is SSL approved. Volunteers are asked to: - Bring their own flashlights - Wear their own scary costumes/masks - it doesn't have to be elaborate, you can be a zombie in old clothes with the right make-up! - Dress for the weather, especially the cooler temps in the evening. - Wear shoes that can get muddy! COVID REQUIREMENTS: Volunteers should not come to help if they or someone they have been around has been sick or exhibiting signs of COVID. They should give us as much notice as possible. An email with all of these details and more will be sent to applicants after they sign up at www.ParksVolunteers.org. Click on SCHEDULE OR CALENDAR TO PICK YOUR NIGHT!
