Volunteering for the Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project’s summer "Howl for Wolves at the Grand Canyon" outreach campaign is a great way to enjoy some time in a beautiful location and to share your love and knowledge of wolves with visitors from all over the world!
Volunteers are needed to manage educational & interactive tables at the South and North Rims in Grand Canyon National Park over four-day weekends, including Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays in June, July, and August. Friends and family are also welcome and encouraged to participate.
All the educational materials, including replica wolf skulls, tracks, and scat, Mexican gray wolf recovery information and maps, and a table, chairs, shade canopy are conveniently stored at both the North and South Rims. We just need you to show up, set-up the table, and enjoy engaging the public in support for wolf recovery in the Grand Canyon ecoregion. Weather permitting, the tables should be set-up from approximately 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day.
Your volunteer experience will include free admission to Grand Canyon National Park. For volunteers committing at least two days in a row, the Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project will reimburse your gas expenses for travel. For volunteers committing to work for four days in a row, we will provide a volunteer stipend ($30/day) as well. Most volunteers choose to camp in the park campground during their stay (advance reservations may be made on-line), but other lodging options both inside and outside the park are also available.
Volunteers are needed for Fridays through Mondays in June, July, and August 2009.
