Service Opportunity On New Park Lands
Celebrate Earth Day at Haw River State Park:
Returning our park lands to a natural state through volunteer service.
Saturday, April 24th from 10:00 – 4:00
Join a Park Ranger and other volunteers for an Earth Day event. The project area will be at a new land acquisition for the park, on former farmland. We will be working to remove old fence line, which will help rehabilitate park lands and provide for future visitor safety.
Please bring work gloves and a bag lunch. The park will provide drinking water. If you have any fencing tools (wire snips, pliers, post pullers) please bring them.
We will meet at the Main Lodge of the Summit Environmental Education Center at Haw River State Park and travel from there to the work site.
The site is some newly acquired land not yet open to the public.
Please, RSVP is required. Please contact Ranger Torry Nergart for more information. torry.nergart@ncdenr.gov
Summer Camps
2010 Summer Day Camps and Grandparent Camps
Come to Haw River State Park for summer fun and adventure! The Summit Environmental Education Staff at Haw River will be leading participants in many amazing park adventures. Each week will have a theme in which programming will focus. The Day Camps will be for children who will be rising 2nd – 6th graders, except for our first Junior Ranger Camp which will be for rising 2nd – 7th graders. Our Grand Camps will be for grandparents who would like to come to summer camp with a grandchild or two, or for children who would like to bring their grandparents to camp. These are our only residential camps.
