Event Details

Hello all! We are going to spend our NPLD Volunteer Day riverside at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park!

Join one or two of our TN State Park Rangers in cleaning up the Mississippi River! We will focus on the sandbar instead of the road, but with enough people we may be able to cover both!
