• Each year the Glacier National Park Fund helps plan and organize the annual Spring for Glacier event. The assistance of volunteers in this process is instrumental in the success of the event.

• We also find the assistance of volunteers invaluable in other areas of our day-to-day operations from helping in the office with filing and correspondence to serving on special committees for campaigns and assisting us with specialized services such as marketing, PR, design and layout and proposal writing.

• In the summer of 2009, we will again sponsor several volunteer trail crew work days in the Park. This is a great way to meet new people, enjoy the great outdoors and be of valuable assistance to the Park.

• 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 two year study funded by GNPF, Glacier National Park is first focusing on mountain goats, pikas and Clark’s Nutcrackers to detect changes that may occur on these canaries of global warming.  

• You can also help out in the Native Plant Nursery every Tuesday starting in June. This is another great way to meet new people, enjoy the great outdoors and be of valuable assistance to the Park.

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 and one of these volunteer opportunities or just to learn more about how you can help, please e-mail Merry Lynn.
