Friends to hold training May 18

The Annual Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes (Friends) training is scheduled for May 18, at the Empire Town Hall.

The training begins with a general orientation at 1 p.m., which is applicable for all volunteers, both experienced and new. This training is a once-a-year chance for volunteers to hear the latest park news from park staff. The 1 p.m. general training will be followed by 2 p.m. breakout sessions for Adopt-A-Trail, Adopt-A-Beach, Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, Preventative Search and Rescue, and the Track Chair program.

For those unable to attend, we will be streaming and recording the general session. More information on this option will be available later.
