🐢 Vote for our 2026 Art & Wine Festival wine glass art! 🍷🎨

We need your help! Local artists have submitted incredible box turtle drawings for this year’s Caledon State Park Art & Wine Festival, and we want you to pick the winning design!

Why the Box Turtle Matters:
Eastern box turtles are vital "seed dispersers" and pest controllers that keep our forest ecosystems healthy. Because they live their entire lives within a small home range, their presence shows that Caledon's local habitat is thriving.

Volunteers are the heart of Virginia State Parks, and every hour they give helps keep our trails, programs and natural spaces thriving. But did you know that volunteering also comes with some great perks? As you log more hours, you earn loyalty points that can be redeemed for rewards like an annual parking pass and discounts on camping and cabin rentals through our reservation system’s loyalty points program.

Whether you’re helping with trail maintenance, supporting educational programs, assisting at events or lending a hand in visitor centers, your time makes a real impact. Plus, it’s a fun way to meet new people, learn new skills and give back to the parks you love.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to spend time outdoors, consider joining our amazing community of volunteers. To learn more, visit: https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/volunteers
