September 25^th – 27^th DSC Office of Student Activities – Civic Engagement and Service Learning will be participating in the National Public Lands Day (NPLD) event hosted at Carters Lake.  Carters Lake NPLD attracts the interests of individual volunteers, families, and groups from a variety of community civic organizations and participants of all ages from the local communities.  Last year, the work completed by volunteers at Carters Lake during National Public Lands Day made a major contribution to the preservation of the beautiful natural resources and facilities.  Over the years volunteers have donated their time and efforts on a variety of natural resource management projects that included the development of new trails, restoration of wildlife habitats, beautification projects, trail maintenance, improved visitor facilities, clearing of vistas, and the annual lakeshore cleanup.  We will be outside for the entire trip and participating in hard manual labor.

Applications are due no later than 12pm on September 9^th, 2009. Due to limited space, all who turn in an application are not guaranteed a spot so please fill out and return applications promptly.
