The Glacier National Park Fund needs volunteers for
various events and/or projects through the year. Please
review this list of activities and let us know if you
would like to help out! |
• Each year the Glacier National Park Fund helps plan
and organize the annual Spring for Glacier event.
Spring for Glacier is hosted by the four park partners -
Glacier Association, Glacier Park Associates, Glacier
Institute and GNPF - in the park each year in late May.
The assistance of volunteers at this event is
instrumental to its success.

• We also find the assistance of volunteers
invaluable in other areas of our day-to-day operations
from helping in the office with filing, scrap
booking, mailings and
correspondence to serving on special committees and assisting us with specialized services
such as marketing, PR, design and layout and proposal
writing.
• In the summer of 2011, we will again sponsor
several volunteer trail crew work days in the Park.
This is a great way to give back to Glacier, meet
new people, enjoy the great outdoors and be of valuable
assistance to the Park. If you would like to do some
trail crew work this summer, contact us.

this past summer

• Volunteer for the High
Country Citizen Science Program. Volunteers
have helped Glacier National Park resource managers
build baseline information about the status of flora and
fauna to study population changes. In a multi-year study
funded by GNPF, Glacier National Park is focusing
on mountain goats, loons, pikas and Clark’s Nutcrackers to
detect changes that may occur on these "canaries" of
global warming.

in the park, go to

To volunteer for this data collection work, e-mail
glac_citizen_science@nps.gov.
• You can also help out in the
Native Plant Nursery every Tuesday starting in June.
From June through August, GNP invites you to drop in at
the native plant nursery each Tuesday to assist with
plant maintenance and nursery chores. You are free to
come and go whenever you choose. This is another great
way to meet new people, enjoy the great outdoors and be
of valuable assistance to the Park. For more details 
Our volunteers’ annual time commitment ranges from
helping with one event to those who dedicate time on a
weekly or monthly basis throughout the year. For more
information about any one of these volunteer
opportunities or just to learn more about how you can
help, please e-mail
