About this program

Lend a hand in our drop-in litter clean up program. Simply check in  at the Visitor Center to receive trash bags, then choose from one of our many beach areas or hiking trails to collect trash. Visitors are awaited with a free, reusable water bottle for filling up their bags. Please leave trash at a trash can on the site you hiked.

There will be temporary passes available for those volunteering during this event. For more information, visit our  Fees & Passes page.

This is part our drop-in program, a no-hassle volunteering option for those looking to give a few hours of their time.

For other opportunities in volunteering at the Indiana Dunes National Park, please visit  The Park Connection volunteer page.
