We’re sharing some of our favorite National Volunteer Month features from recent years. 2019’s web story shared both the latest accomplishments of the thousands of citizen scientists at work in the sanctuary system and a few of the many opportunities for new volunteers.

In this photo, volunteers in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary haul trash as a part of the International Coastal Cleanup, a massive global effort to clear the trash off our beaches.

This #NationalParkWeek, sPark Discovery at Olympic National Park, neighboring Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary.

National Park Week kicks off today with a fee-free day to encourage everyone to find something new by visiting a national park, especially one that may be close to home, a park you haven’t considered visiting, or one you never realized is a national park! What new national park will you discover? #sParkDiscovery
