Volunteering for the Public Lands Just Got More Rewarding!

Introducing the “America the Beautiful” Volunteer Pass

What are the benefits of the pass?
The pass covers entrance and/or standard amenity fees on lands managed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Reclamation, and the Department of Agriculture’s USDA Forest Service. Passes are valid for one year from the issuance date.

How can I qualify for a Volunteer Pass?
Accrue just 500 hours of volunteer service on participating Federal public lands in 2007, and you can receive the new Volunteer Pass in recognition of your efforts. Simply coordinate tracking of your hours with your volunteer supervisor or volunteer coordinator.
