Skilled park rangers and master cultural volunteers will be leading hands-on workshops this summer at Doughton Park.  The public is invited to come and learn a new skill and help keep these traditions alive.

These workshops are sponsored by Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway, a non-profit, membership orgaization that recruits and provides leadership for park volunteers.  For Friends membership information call 1-800-228 PARK or go to blueridgefriends.org.

There is a fee for these workshops that covers the cost of materials and supports the Friends.  Fees range from $15 to $35 and are payable the day of the workshop in cash or check made out to Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Advanced reservations are requested as space is limited.
