VALLES CALDERA NEWS RELEASE

National Volunteer Week through April 27. Valles Caldera National Preserve is honored to have wonderful volunteers who enhance every aspect of the park. We are very grateful to everyone who volunteers, or has volunteered, at the park.

We invite you to join us! We are looking for volunteer support in welcoming visitors, conducting plant surveys, supporting education programs and media development, helping with trails projects, assisting hydrologic research, and searching for dendroglyphs.

“I want to reach out and thank all of Valles Caldera’s volunteers, whether you came up for a day to help during National Public Lands Day in September or are a long-time volunteer,” said Superintendent Jorge Silva-Bañuelos. “We are honored that you have given your time and energy to support the park and make it a welcoming place for all to come and enjoy.”
