Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area When the
Land Between The Lakes
offers all the outdoor recreation "basics", with some unique opportunities for
environmental education and historic interpretation. Nestled in western
Land Between The Lakes
National Recreation Area (LBL) would not be what it is today without the
enthusiasm, dedication and assistance of volunteers. In December of 1983, LBL’s
Volunteer Program was formed by the "Friends of LBL", a non-profit
organization established to support LBL. We serve as a liaison between the
managing agency and the private sector and it was under this umbrella that the
Volunteer Program was established during TVA’s tenure. Since 1983, it has grown
in excess of 700 volunteers annually, with 200 of those volunteering on a
regular basis. With LBL’s nine
campgrounds, sixteen lake access areas, six large visitor facilities and over
two hundred miles of trails, Forest Service staff time is precious and a strong
healthy Volunteer Program allows them to accomplish much more work. Each year,
hundreds of volunteers help LBL narrow the gap between what is desirable and
what is attainable. They contribute thousands of hours of work to LBL in every
conceivable area. Trail maintenance, litter clean-up, historic and environmental
interpretation, administration, special event staffing, wildlife
monitoring—these tasks and many more are covered, in part, by
volunteers. LBL’s web address www.lbl.org LBLA’s web address www.friendsoflbl.org Volunteer Coordinator email address jrhodes@lblassoc.org So don’t just sit there. . . COME OUTSIDE AND PLAY The Volunteer Hour
