A day of Stewardship to Celebrate our Public Lands
Thanks for joining us to celebrate your public lands! With your help, we'll to develop two new parks from the ground up! On September 28, 2019 Nevada State Parks will team with the National Park Service for a workday that will include trail building, litter cleanup, removal of invasive plant species, and more!
Trail Building Volunteers will work under the direction of a Crew Chief to perform aspects of trail construction which may include clearing brush and debris from trail corridor; constructing new segments of trail, using shovels, picks, hoes, McLeods, rakes, wheelbarrows, measuring tapes, and other trade tools. The work performed requires physical effort. Participants routinely lift, push, pull, and carry items weighing 25 pounds, and up to 50 pounds (or more) with assistance. Work will require walking approximately a half mile to and from job sites.
Litter Cleanup Volunteers will perform tasks necessary to clean up litter and may include varying degrees of physical exertion such as, but not limited to: standing for long periods of time; bending, crouching and stooping, stretching, reaching, lifting items weighing up to 20 pounds or similar activities. Volunteers who are physically capable may be asked to hike over rough terrain or inclines to clean-up more remote areas. Those with physical limitations and/or younger children will work in areas which require less hiking and are on less difficult terrain.
Invasive Plant Species Volunteers will work under the direction of Crew Chief to identify, pull and bag non-native invasive plant species that are destructive to the parks' ecosystem. This task may include varying degrees of physical exertion such as, but not limited to: standing for long periods of time; bending, crouching and stooping, stretching, reaching, lifting items weighing up to 20 pounds or similar activities. Volunteers who are physically capable may be asked to hike over rough terrain or inclines to clean-up more remote areas. Those with physical limitations and/or younger children will work in areas which require less hiking and are on less difficult terrain.
NOTE: Please complete a separate form for each participant.
