Celebrate 10 years of Natural Bridge State Park by making its biggest trail shine with various cleanup projects.

Lend a hand and work side by side with park rangers as we detail Cedar Creek trail by clearing brush, closing "social" (unofficial) trails, trimming vegetation, and more.

The park will provide hand tools and personal protective equipment (loppers, trimmers, gloves, waders for creek work, hearing protection, bug spray, etc.), but if you have gloves or rubber boots/waders of your own you are welcome to bring them.

To ensure we have enough equipment available you must pre-register.

For more details or to register, please call (540) 425-0837.
