2026 Friends of Whitefish Dunes Sponsored Events

Spring Work Day Saturday TBD

 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! (See below.)  Lunch will be provided by the Friends of Whitefish Dunes at the Nature Center (sandwiches and beverages). Please RSVP to volunteer and reserve lunch. See below for instructions.
Message from Park Manager Sarah: We’ll be forgoing any beach work this year with the construction at the first beach access, so volunteers will focus on these areas, with the first two being top priority: 

  • Finish covering/retie the tarps on the Ciporoke.
  • Move brush from clearing of new Cave Point trail onto the old trail to discourage use.
  • General litter and brush clean up.
  • If someone is looking for an indoor job, they can help clean the mounts in the Nature Center

AND:  Please bring work gloves, dress for all weather, and wear appropriate shoes for proper foot protection. The park has a few tools available to share but you are encouraged to bring your own if you are willing to do so. Latex-free gloves and trash bags can be provided by the park. Anyone working in a parking lot or along a road will be required to wear a hi-vis vest. Please bring one if you have one, or you can borrow one from the park.
