Friends of Pocahontas State Park

Here’s a polished, clearer version with improved flow and professionalism while keeping the original meaning intact:
Looking ahead to the 2026 season, the park will need additional assistance supporting staff at the Contact Station during several key events.
This opportunity is open to current volunteers who are interested in providing Administrative and Customer Service Support.
Training Details
Cash management training will be provided on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 1:00–3:00 PM at the Visitors Center.
Upcoming Events Needing Support
The park is seeking Contact Station support for events such as RAGNAR, Mammoth March, Concerts, and others.
Sign-up dates and times will be shared during the training.
Please note: If you have already completed cash management training, you do not need to attend this session. You will receive a separate email with sign-up information.
At this time, training is limited to six (6) volunteers.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in helping make these events a success.

Every Thursday we stock the campground with fresh firewood. If we have extra time we may split some too! Keeping the parks campers supplied with lots of split firewood not only protects the park from invasive pests but also generates thousands of dollars which can be reinvested in the park. No experience required!! Plus all of the hours accumulate toward free park passes and other rewards. It's a fun job with great people and great socializing.

## Meeting Place: Visitor Center Parking Lot

We will be prepping the last northernmost part of the large native plant garden for fall planting. As the park will be clearing off the top layer of sand and gravel earlier in the week, we will follow by spreading fresh soil/compost, cardboard and mulch. Meet at the most northern part of the parking lot.

In general, we typically work in the park managing the gardens, installing new plants, transplanting and weeding to keep the park looking good and healthy. No experience required. Bring your favorite garden tools, kneeling pad and gloves. You may also want to bring water and a light snack. As you accumulate volunteer hours it will allow you to earn a state-wide park pass and other rewards.
Come and help us knowing your efforts will enhance Pocahontas State Park today and for generations to come.
