Friends of Harmonie State Park

How you can help

Volunteering with the Friends of Harmonie State Park is a powerful way to give back to one of southwestern Indiana’s most beautiful natural spaces. As a volunteer, you help preserve scenic trails, support wildlife habitats, and enhance the visitor experience for thousands of park-goers each year. Your time and talents directly contribute to the park’s events, educational programs, and park up-keep - ensuring this treasured place remains vibrant, clean, and welcoming for current and future generations. It’s also a great way to connect with nature, meet-like minded people, and make a meaningful impact right in your own community.
