WELCOME, VOLUNTEERS!Thank you for your interest in volunteering to help preserve and maintain your state parks system-one of Nebraska's genuine state treasures!Volunteers in our state parks, recreation areas, historical parks and wildlife management areas are increasingly valuable and appreciated assets in these days of increasing budget constraints. Volunteering in a wide variety of roles in 86 areas across the state is a welcome benefit to our parks' staffs and helps them to maintain the high standards that have made our parks system a national model since the first state park was established in 1921.
