Join us on Saturday, August 3 at Mount Rainier National Park for Operation: Fix Our Parks! We’re teaming up with military veterans from The Mission Continues and Wounded Warrior Project, along with the National Park Service and others, to fix trails and picnic areas to serve the park and its visitors.
After the service project, stick around and join NPCA and our partners for a group dinner at Longmire Stewardship Campground at 6 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, entrance to the park and camping is free for all volunteers!
