Description of Work Completed: On September 24, 84 VOC volunteers (including over 30 youth!) headed to Staunton State Park to make needed improvements at this not-yet-opened state park. Volunteers installed 320 feet of fence posts, removed 2 large bags full of invasive weeds, and constructed porch railings and 3 shutters to restore a cabin on the site. Thanks to all our volunteers, our great partners at Staunton State Park, and 3 Margaritas for donating a delicious lunch. This project was one of many registered volunteer opportunities for National Public Lands Day
