Supporting The VolcanoCams

The Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam is maintained by the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.

The Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam receives no government funding. In fact, there is no budget at all for the VolcanoCam. We thank our longstanding non-profit partner, the Northwest Interpretive Association for their continuing support for the VolcanoCams, especially our VolcanoCam viewers who support us through the NWIA.

Staff support for the VolcanoCam comes from several of us as time permits. Unfortunately our time is too often quite limited.
