On-the-Ground Conservation Volunteer

On-the-Ground Conservation Work at Crater Lake National Park

The Crater Lake National Park Trust works to help protect, promote, and enhance Crater Lake National Park, its unique water purity, and its value for human inspiration and knowledge. We envision a future in which Crater Lake National Park is widely recognized as an Oregon icon and a national treasure; in which the Park serves as a thriving laboratory and classroom; and in which every Oregonian and growing numbers of others feel a deep connection and love for Crater Lake.

At Crater Lake National park Trust we recognize the importance of volunteers to our organization. In exchange for the work volunteers accomplish we hope to leave each volunteer with more knowledge, experience and a sense of accomplishing important change for Crater Lake.
