Groups seek volunteers for parks, rivers, museums

Several communities are recruiting volunteers for hands-on conservation and community projects. On Nov. 14, volunteers can help maintain trails at New River Gorge National Park, work on seasonal gardens at the Saginaw Art Museum, clear brush around the Bloyer Mound Group in Wisconsin, or join Savannah’s Rivers Alive cleanup collecting litter by kayak or small boat. The activities welcome community members with varying levels of experience, though some events ask participants to bring protective gear or their own watercraft. Separately, Humboldt County is seeking applicants for three volunteer positions on its Headwaters Fund Board, which advises on economic development funding; applications are due Nov. 20.
