Clark County Public Works is on the lookout for a volunteer park host at Moulton Falls Regional Park, a scenic spot featuring two waterfalls and a storied arch bridge. This live-in role is not just about soaking in the great outdoors; it's about keeping the 387-acre park in Yacolt pristine for visitors, according to a recent posting on Clark County's official website.
The volunteer park host will bear various responsibilities, such as routinely cleaning park restrooms, managing opening and closing of park gates, and ensuring park-goers are aware of closing times. As per the Clark County announcement, daily tasks will also involve emptying garbage cans, picking up litter, and being a point of contact for emergencies or maintenance issues that might arise. Park hosts reside in a county-owned residence within the park limits, with basic utilities provided.
Commitment to the park extends to December 31, with a performance evaluation in late summer or early fall determining the potential for renewal. Applicants need to brace for a thorough vetting process, which includes state and federal background checks, fingerprinting, and a review of rental history and renter’s insurance paperwork. It could be several weeks from selection to move-in because of the time needed for these checks, as highlighted by the county's recruitment info.
Those interested can send their applications through the Clark County Public Works volunteer page, with more details and the full list of duties available there. A statement on the Clark County website emphasizes, "Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled." Aid for those who need translated materials or interpretation services is offered by Cindy Gonzalez, the volunteer program coordinator, reachable at [email protected] or 564.397.1679.
To keep abreast of road and park project updates, community engagement opportunities, and more, the public can follow Public Works on X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram, or view details on Nextdoor, ensuring residents stay informed about the happenings in their green spaces.
