Talk about impact: Volunteers provide 70,000 hours of volunteer service every year as part of Mount Rainier National Park’s Volunteer Program, a program for which WNPF provides the largest portion of funding – roughly 2/3 – year over year. We are proud to support impactful volunteer programs in all three of Washington’s national parks, enabling individuals to give back to the parks they love in more ways than one.
Our work to raise private support for Washington’s national parks would not be possible without our partners. This tradition of giving is what keeps these parks going strong.
