Volunteer
Have you got some time to volunteer???
Friends of BP are always looking for volunteers to help out at the Park, group events, and special projects. If you have a talent you'd like to share, please contact us.
Cattell Cabin Crew
The 10's version of the CCC! Volunteers are needed to continue the clean-up and restoration of the historic Cattell Cabin at the heart of Big Pocono State Park.
This early 1900's shelter from the elements is being restored to some of its natural beauty and renovated in preparation for opening to the public once again. Formerly the Park Office, Cattell has been adopted by the Friends group as a major project.
If you'd like to help, contact Betty Kruk, the Cattell Committeee Chair at sharbaubetty at yahoo or 570-350-9487.
