GATLINBURG, TN (AP) - The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is looking for roving informational volunteers.
People willing to walk the River Trail, Mountain Farm Museum and the fields along Newfound Gap Road in the Oconaluftee section of the park on the North Carolina side would be asked to volunteer for one four-hour or eight-hour shift per week.
They would answer visitor questions about park history and natural features.
Volunteers are also needed for the Clingman's Dome visitor contact station, working the information desk and roving the short trail to the observation tower.
There are also volunteer posts available for the Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee.
The opportunities run spring through fall and attendance at training sessions is required.
Information is available from volunteer coordinator Florie Takaki, at (828) 497-1906.
