Moraine and McConnells Mill State Parks will be hosting a couple events this weekend.
First, tonight from 6 to 7:30 p.m. a program about the Sights and Sounds of Spring will be held at Moraine’s Pleasant Valley Non-Motorized Launch Area on the South Shore. Participants can join the Park Naturalist for a nearly two mile hike along the Sunken Garden Trail. Those planning to attend should wear sturdy hiking boots and dress for the weather.
Then on Saturday a Volunteer Kickoff Meeting is planned from 10 a.m. to noon at the Kildoo Pavilion at Mconnells Mill State Park. Park staff and representatives of non-profit groups that support the local parks will be on hand to discuss recent accomplishments as well as what is planned for this year. Volunteers of all skill levels and experience are welcome.
