Black Hawk State Historic Site needs four volunteers to lead short, simple hikes at its 80th Birthday Celebration on Sunday, September 23rd from 1-3 p.m. Volunteers are needed to lead short hikes through the park and between the various birthday activities at the Lodge, Singing Bird Nature Center and the prairie. Hikes will leave the Lodge every 30 minutes between 1 p.m. & 3 p.m. No previous experience needed...just a willingness to lead a group and share your interest in nature! If you would like to volunteer, please contact Nancie Parkhurst at (309) 788-9536.

And after you've volunteered, be sure to stay for all of the fun events that day and throughout autumn:
