There are many ways you can help the park reach its goals when you are a volunteer.

The V.I.P. (Volunteers in Parks) program is well established at Bandelier. Volunteering is one of the most important aspects of citizenship. People coming together on a voluntary basis to achieve common goals is a key feature of a dynamic society.

Opportunities

There are many diverse opportunities available for volunteering in Bandelier. They include such activities as trail maintenance, natural resource surveys, maintenance of cultural resources, working in the visitor center, office/clerical work, campground hosting, roving the trails, just to mention a few.

Ready to get involved?

For more information and an application, call the park volunteer coordinator, Cathie Scheel, at 505-672-3861 x517 or e-mail her.

Hummingbirds use a combination of plant material, lichens, and moss held together by spider webs to make a flexible nest. This nest can expand to meet the needs of the growing chicks.
