Love Bighorn Canyon and want to get involved? There are lots of ways to be involved with Bighorn Canyon NRA. You can become a part of one of our partner organizations or volunteer directly with us!

Bighorn Basin Outdoor Recreation Collaborative is a group of public and private volunteers officially launched in October of 2018. Thier mission is to promote, enhance, and develop sustainable outdoor recreation that encourages responsible use, personal well being, and economic benefit in the Bighorn Basin.

Bighorn River Alliance are our partners up stream. The mission of the Bighorn River Alliance is to protect, preserve and enhance the long-term health and viability of the Bighorn River recognizing its significance to the wild trout fishery, the agricultural community, and the Crow Nation through which it flows.

Friends of Bighorn Lake has been a great partner for Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. They have helped the park create a waterways trail guide.

We also have our traditional volunteers who do numerous jobs that are extremely beneficial to the park. Volunteers haul recyclable materials to the recycler, work at the visitor center, give educational talks or walks, and work with the historic preservation crews. These are just a few ways that volunteers help our parks around the country. VIP stands for Volunteers in the Parks, but we all know that it also stands for Very Important Persons, which our volunteers all are all the way across the country. Call the visitor center in Lovell, Wyoming at 307-548-5406 to also volunteer in the park.
