that is funny all the post in less than 5 mins.. guess that hit a hot button.
I would love to find a way to give more time and energy to NPS through volunteering to help clean up, and other service projects. Just not sure how to go about finding out more.
I clicked on a link at one park site and got no where.
and for the record my little 70 dollars send to NPS is not worth much. But when you do that say 5000 times now you are talking real money like bill clinton used to say. In reading reviews of the NPS facilities most are in low good to poor condition and most don't have enough money to do much more than plug holes in the dam so to speak.
I would not mind paying more if that money stayed at the NPS and there area of concern..
We do plan to volunteer when possible when we go full time in 4-5 yrs. maybe by then I will amass enough wealth I can do like Thunder Mountain and give some money to a place to help with programs in the future.. its called "paying it forward."

Since you feel it is not enough You are always free to make a donation of the difference in amount to the park service.
That would help them.
POST WHEN YOU DO CAUSE I AM BETTING the other way
Your donation to friends of ________ __________ park will stay in the park. No matter how small the donation.
So your $70.00 is worth more than zero. It will only leave 4999 to go. ONE STEP AT A TIME.
Tonto national forest is always looking for volunteers. IN addition you are free to go to any national park and pick up litter as you hike around.. Bring a bag and go for it. That is what is called grass roots volunteerism.
now that is a good idea. friends of the park donation.. I alway try to put something in the box when we visit NP's. The one in hawaii was a bit hidden when we were there only seeing after going through the gift shop for magnets, posters etc. spent 35 buck in the gift store and i am guessing they make money there as well..
all good places to help.
