Seasonal Staff, Campground Hosts, and Volunteers Make a Difference!

posted on 7/25/25

A Huge THANK YOU to Our 2025 Jones County Conservation Team!!!

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our incredible 2025 Seasonal Staff, Campground Hosts, and dedicated Volunteers who helped care for and maintain our parks, preserves, wildlife areas, and campground.

Your commitment, hard work, and passion for conservation play a vital role in keeping Jones County’s natural areas beautiful, safe, and accessible. Without the efforts of our seasonal operations and maintenance team, it would be nearly impossible to operate a high-quality campground or properly care for our 23 wildlife areas, river accesses, and preserves.

Whether your contribution was large or small, your impact was significant. Thank you for helping protect and preserve the natural beauty of Jones County!

We couldn’t do it without you!
