Tyler Christopherson, age 8, volunteered his time at LaPine State Park during his summer break, from June through August 2001. Tyler helped park staff with maintenance projects and recycling efforts. He also helped staff build and install a self-guided nature trail at the park. "He [Tyler] has been an incredible asset to the park by helping with chores and volunteering his time at least three times per month," says Heather Clemons-Porter, Park Naturalist. "Thank you, Tyler, for a great job at LaPine State Park. We hope to see you next year!"
