A FLOOD OF VOLUNTEERS: Volunteers are flooding parks to 
help clean up after the rains ... head on 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 TPW 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.
