Free camping and hot springs soak for volunteers at Grover Hot Springs

California State Park Champions volunteer across the state from the ocean to the mountains, and an opportunity is heading to the Sierra at Grover Hot Springs on April 20, 2019 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Help with fire prevention projects by removing invasive weeds that push out the park's native plants and increase fire risks in the park. Volunteers 12 and older welcome (minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian).

After volunteering, enjoy a soak in the park's hot springs pool. Free camping is available for registered volunteers Friday and Saturday nights.

And this isn't the only opportunity. All year long there are various activities at other state parks, most will award volunteers with a free night or two of camping. Volunteer at the Vikingsholm garden in Emerald Bay on July 10 by identifying and removing non- native plant species that were not historically part of the garden. Ages 10 and older are welcome (minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian). Free camping for registered volunteers on Tuesday & Wednesday nights if available.
