St Sebastian River Preserve State Park Needs Volunteers

We are located approximately 25 miles inland (west) of the Sebastian Inlet. The preserve totals almost 22,000 acres, and is home to many native plants and animals, including more than 74 protected species. We maintain up to 60 miles of wilderness trails for hiking, fat tire bicycle or horseback. Our eastern border is the St. Sebastian River, a great place to both kayak and fish. We also maintain six primitive camp sites.

Please see the attached document that lists the duties of our Camp Volunteers. Along with these duties our volunteers sometimes help with other projects. This year they have enjoyed assisting our Park Biologist Sam with Scrub Jay counts, and most recently nest checks for egg counts of our Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers. We work closely with our friends at CAMA as well so our volunteers will sometimes help Mark conduct bird counts at rookeries on the Indian River as well as manatee counts in the colder months. We are a Preserve with a small staff so our volunteers are a large part of our team!

We have a volunteer camp site available and I am taking reservations for May 2014 thru October 2014 and March 2015 up to/thru October 2015.

All sites have water, electric (30 & 50 amp), and sewer hook-ups. A washer and dryer are also available at the site.

If you would be interested in a volunteer camp position at our park, please contact me by e-mail with a good phone number you can be reached at.

Thank you,
