You will find as you look back upon
your life, the moments that stand out, are the moments when you have
done things for others.

Introduction and
History Land Between
The Lakes National Recreation Area (LBL,NRA) would not be what it is today
without the enthusiasm, dedication and assistance of volunteers. In
December of 1983, LBL’s Volunteer Program was formed by the
Friends of LBLFriends
of LBL,
a non-profit organization established to support LBL. We serve as a
liaison between the managing agency and the private sector and it was
under this umbrella that the Volunteer Program was established during
TVA’s tenure. Since 1983, it has grown in excess of 700 volunteers
annually, with 200 of those volunteering on a regular basis.
With LBL’s nine campgrounds, sixteen lake access areas, six large visitor
facilities and over two hundred miles of trails, Forest Service staff time
is precious and a strong healthy volunteer program allows them to
accomplish much more work. Each year, hundreds of volunteers help LBL
narrow the gap between what is desirable and what is attainable. They
contribute thousands of hours of work to LBL in every conceivable area.
Trail maintenance, litter clean-up, historic and environmental
interpretation, administration, special event staffing, wildlife
monitoring—these tasks and many more are covered, in part, by volunteers.
