All volunteers must be 16 and older. Volunteers should wear clothes they don't mind getting dirty, and bring a lunch and insect repellent if  planning on staying most of the day. There is no need to sign up or apply before volunteering. First time volunteers, should stop by  the welcome center (first building on your left as you enter), and an employee there will point you in the right direction. Groups must schedule volunteer days in advance. (posted 5.21.12)
