Love the Monmouth County Park System’s 130+ miles of trails and interested in becoming part of its Volunteer Trails Team? Head to the Thompson Park Visitor Center, 805 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 10 and learn about joining this dedicated group.  Prospective volunteers (age 16 and up) are invited to this free training workshop that serves as an introduction to Park System safety rules, tools and equipment, and maintenance overview.  After attending the workshop, volunteers can assist during trail work sessions throughout the season.
