Dalton and his group of volunteers built and installed an informational kiosk at the head of the Dead Neck Trail in the Bayberry Parking lot. This kiosk will serve as in information hub for park visitors, walkers and scientists visiting the state park. In addition to building the kiosk the team did some landscaping, added native plantings, and light trail maintenance.
