Event Details

Join us for National Public Lands Day and help beautify our native wildflower gardens!

We will be removing invasive and weedy species from the garden beds in front of the Park Headquarters. Depending on group size, tasks for volunteers may vary in difficulty. 

Please come dressed in appropriate clothing and shoes. It is highly encouraged to bring your own source of water and food. Please bring your own pair of gloves as our  availability may be limited.

In the event of inclement weather, this event may be cancelled. Participants will be reached out to via phone and email. We will still work if there is light rain. This volunteer program is recommended for ages 14 and up.

Escape to Norris Dam State Park, a sprawling 4,018-acre haven nestled between the Cumberland and Appalachian Ranges. The park offers a blend of historical significance and natural beauty. Visitors can explore the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), hike scenic trails, and enjoy the pristine waters along the renowned Norris Lake.
