We are constantly looking for volunteers and can handle groups as small as one or two or as large as fifty. If you or your group would like to join us, please call to arrange it. Currently, most work is outdoors, physical, and a real kick. Groups have used our project to hone physical and communication skills, as a means of team building, to fulfill voluntary community service, or to just take a positive step to help protect the environment or learn about it. Whatever your motivation, we will be delighted to have you join us. Please call Gerry at (336) 877-1860 to make your reservation. We do have motels within fifteen minutes and can accomodate small camping groups.
