Noatak National Preserve
Volunteer

From Afar

One of our biggest challenges is finding a way to share the Noatak experience with those who do not have the opportunity to visit the preserve in person. We are excited to announce the launch of a Flickr website as a way to extend the virtual preserve boundary to encompass all those who love and support our national parks, wherever you may be. Any visitor who would like to volunteer a sample of a trip to Noatak National Preserve is encouraged to join the park group on Flickr to post photos, video clips and journal entries to share with others.

In addition to contemporary experiences and information, any historic documents and photos relative to the area are welcome. A more comprehensive collection and interpretation of these items can lead other people to develop a deeper connection to your parks. Items may be mailed to park headquarters.

 

Up Close

Many good volunteers come through The Student Conservation Association (SCA), an organization dedicated to finding opportunities for resource stewardship.

If you have come to live in Kotzebue with family and are looking for long term volunteer opportunities, we would love to talk to you. Please call or stop by headquarters.

Check out the park calendar for volunteer events and other opportunities to get involved.
