To assist in keeping Assateague State Park safe and beautiful for its visitors, many volunteers contribute to the maintenance of the island and mainland resources. Project needs include native plant landscaping at the park’s various garden plots and pollinator meadows, assistance with grounds-keeping, building maintenance, and dune maintenance.
We also work with local community school groups, scouts, and other volunteers to aid us in keeping our park and the beach clean and beautiful. Although our state parks follow a trash free policy, often our visitors do not. We welcome groups interested in doing a good deed to help our environmental efforts for a beach or marsh clean-up. The park will provide free trash bags to volunteers who should bring along work gloves, sunscreen, bug spray and appropriate clothing and shoes.
If you are interested in volunteering at Assateague State Park, please e-mail assateague.statepark@maryland.gov or call 410-641-2120 for more information.
