Students from the Vineland High School camping club participated in the April 19 Parvin State Park Rally and Clean Up Day, said Jennie Martorano and Mary Beth Viola, club advisors.

The students attended the rally and then spent several hours cleaning up the picnic area.  According to Martorano and Viola, the students from the club have been camping and cleaning trails for ten years now.

“The students feel very strongly that the park should not be closed and are urging everyone they know to sign the petition that will be sent to the governor at the end of the month,” said Martorano and Viola.

Petitions are available in several locations throughout the area.
