Camp Cleanup Volunteers Needed

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is hoping you'll volunteer a little free labor to clean up two conservation camps.

Each spring, Fish & Wildlife personnel and volunteers rake leaves, cut brush and firewood, build water bars, clean buildings, repair door hinges and perform other cleaning and maintenance chores at the Buck Lake and Edward Kehoe conservation camps.

This year's effort will take place the weekend of May 19-20. The Buck Lake camp is located off Route 14 in Woodbury. The Kehoe Conservation Camp is on the west shore of Lake Bomoseen in Castleton.

The efforts are important so that kids 12 to 14 years of age can have a safe and enjoyable experience at the camps as they've done for the last 40 years.

All help will be appreciated whether it's a half day or the entire weekend. Meals are provided and lodging is available.

To volunteer, contact Jessica Plouffe at (802) 241-3768 or jessica.plouffe@state.vt.us.
