Volunteer Nature Park Host

Volunteer May 1st through October 31st, at a small, beautiful nature park in exchange for a spacious campsite with full hookup. Spring Lake Nature Park at Streator, Illinois is a city owned, volunteer assisted nature park, the home of deer, wild turkeys, birds, raccoons, rabbits, and butterflies. Singles and couples are encouraged to apply. The park provides two campsites (no public camping) for hosts, who open and close the park gate, greet park guests, monitor guests’ adherence to park rules, check trails for needed maintenance, pick up garbage, and help with park maintenance and flowerbed care. No toilet cleaning is required. Hosts work three or four days a week on alternating weeks. For safety, an underground tornado shelter is provided on site. Furry family members are welcome. Streator, located in north central Illinois, is a community of 15,000 people and is home to a WalMart, Kroger’s Grocery, Walgreens, Ace Hardware, and an emergency room, all located near the rural park.
