Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

Texans are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and pitch in when their state parks need them: such as after the Memorial Day Floods.

04– A lot of our friends groups are leading a lot of those efforts.

Audrey Muntz is the new volunteer coordinator for Texas state parks. She says the opportunities are many.

07– Especially for areas where there has been major trail damage, or major damage to work areas or campgrounds.

The floods may have happened three months ago, but volunteer opportunities to get them sorted are ongoing. So, if you thought your chance to help had passed–you’re in luck!

12– And so I know, Ray Roberts has an ongoing effort that will be ongoing throughout the fall. Brazos Bend and Blanco are also having their friends groups run those. And a lot of our other parks have had groups come out and are up and going.

Audrey Muntz recommends checking each park’s Facebook page for the various one-time volunteer opportunities.

She says you can also log onto the Texas Parks and Wildlife website and register to become a volunteer, receive updates, and search a wide variety of available projects.

That’s our show for today’ We record our series in Austin at the Block House; Joel Block engineers our program.

For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
