Volunteer at PVSP

Do you love the outdoors? Do you get excited about sharing your love of nature with others? Perhaps you have some spare time, and would like to share a little with the park and park visitors.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Patapsco Valley State Park. They are involved in just about every aspect of park operations. Volunteers do so many fantastic things within the park. On any given day you can find volunteer rangers running daily operations, and volunteer naturalists leading hikes or doing nature crafts. Perhaps you will encounter a member of the volunteer mounted patrol while you are out on the trails, and on that very same trail ride you might meet trail maintenance volunteers or even one of the Adopt-a-Trail families. Don’t be surprised to see volunteer photographers snapping pictures of people and nature within the park. If you stop in the visitor center or our nature center you will more than likely meet one of the volunteer docents who will be thrilled to share interesting information about the park.

Do you think your talents are not suited for a park? They have graphic designers, marketing specialists, artists, carpenters, plumbers, stone masons and seamstresses that all have volunteered to help create brochures, build decks and benches, promote programs to the media and even sew curtains for the mini-cabins.

So if you have a little extra time to spare, or are out on the trail enjoying a ride, I invite you to join the Patapsco volunteer family. They would love to have you as part of the team!
