Students and others with natural resource experiences are needed to assist the National Parks with mapping, monitoring, and other research tasks. Locations can be found across the United States.
With more than 700 miles of hiking trails, this park needs volunteers to monitor for invasive plants. With information on location and abundance of invasives, park staff can improve their management strategy.
Nez Perce National Historical Park works with high school students to monitor the park’s camas lilies. In addition to providing students with a hands-on introduction to science, the project also collects important management data.
