DLNHC

The Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor invites the public to find a way to give back to the non-profit organization working to connect the D&L Trail and sustain the National Canal Museum.

D&L Volunteer Kick Off Days will be held at the Jim Thorpe Train Station 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 5 and at the National Canal Museum in Easton 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 12.

All ages and volunteer interests are encouraged to attend for any duration of time to learn more about the D&L and how to get involved.

Volunteers are as diverse as the work they do for the D&L and the National Canal Museum.

Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to:

•Trail maintenance/field work: trail tenders, trail patrol, canal structure maintenance, planting and gardening

•National Canal Museum/education: docents, field trip educators, archives assistance

•Administrative support: writing/editing, membership and mailing, cartography, grant writing

•Social media: photography, experience sharing, original artwork, blogging

•Public outreach: event promotion, development, flyer and brochure making, marketing

•Events: “Get Your Tail on the Trail,” dinner auction, luncheons, National Trails Day
