OPRD release – A 100 Volunteer Projects for 100 Years centennial event – Coos Bay, OR—Shore Acres State Park rangers need 10 volunteers April 21, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., to join the annual pond cleanup in the botanical gardens. Rangers drain the pond and then need volunteers to help remove the debris accumulated during the year. Volunteers will also help fertilize the pond lilies and trim shrubs along the pond edge—efforts that make the area a spectacular sight for visitors. Participants must register in advance and registration ends April 12. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and will work with hand tools and move on gravel and uneven surfaces. Tools and other equipment will be provided. The 100 Volunteer Projects for 100 Years series commemorates the Oregon State Parks centennial.
