Lo que está sucediendo este mes en los Parques Estatales de Virginia

Abril
As April arrives, warmer weather brings a full calendar of activities. Visit a park to enjoy blooming wildflowers during the day or take in the night sky, as April is Dark Sky Month, and four of our parks are designated stargazing sites. Cast a line from the shore or from a watercraft, explore a trail, enjoy a picnic and don’t forget to celebrate Earth Day on April 22. We’ll mark the occasion with Earth Week festivities! Join our Let’s Go Adventures programs to try something new. National Volunteer Week takes place April 19–25, offering plenty of opportunities to get involved and support your parks. You can participate in park events to do your part.
