Volunteer-at-large

Whatever your skill or expertise, we need you!

Volunteer Committees are a great way to put your special skills and talents to use for the benefit of the park, your community and the state! Volunteer Committees generally meet on their own to develop plans and activities. The Chairperson or a delegated representative will attend the Board of Directors Meeting to present the plans to the Board.

Check out the committees below then email friendsofchattahoocheebend@gmail.com with your choice(s). Please state what you would like to do for the Committee(s) and how your talents, skills and knowledge apply.

Committee Oportunities

Events

Plan and coordinate big events, such as the Annual Meeting and Your State Parks Day, including phone calls, legwork and setup.

History and Preservation

Learn all you can about the park property through bookwork, interviews and on-site archaeological work -- and prepare to present that in the park's Visitor Center.

Botanical

Get out on the trails and identify what we have out there — it would be great to go along on Trail Scouting and Routing missions to help us avoid sensitive spots or areas. Take photos and eventually assist with an interpretive display in the Visitor Center.

Geocaches

There are a bunch of geocaches at The Bend. Learn what geocaching is, hold "learning hikes" for newbies, and more!

Trails - Hiking and Biking

Scouting, routing and trail section leader opportunities. (Trail building... that's just about everyone!)

Fundraising

Invite local businesses and organizations to donate funds (or time, since in reality, time is money).

Riverkeepers

Paddle patrol the Hooch for debris and navigational hazards. Help with Sweep the Hooch and Rivers alive.

Equestrian

Head the effort to get equine trails into the park, facilities maintenance and activities.

Communications

Help keep us current with website and social media updates, taking photography, updating maps, etc.
