INDIANAPOLIS — Honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by volunteering at a Department of Natural Resources property on Jan. 16, Martin Luther King Day.

On MLK Day, some properties will have self-directed service opportunities such as litter pickup along trails. Check the DNR calendar at calendar.dnr.IN.gov for lists of activities that day, and for volunteer events throughout the year.

Work needed year-round includes maintaining trails, helping in nature centers and sharing photography or art. Projects can also be tailored to volunteers’ skillsets.

“Volunteering gives you a great sense of accomplishment,” said Jody Heaston, volunteer coordinator for Indiana State Parks. “You are helping manage and conserve our natural and cultural resources for future generations to enjoy.”
