Volunteers donate over 9,000 hours at Voyageurs
In the past year, 126 volunteers at Voyageurs National Park donated 9,942 hours of time (almost 10,000 hours!). That translates into 414 days of volunteer time donated to Voyageurs.
At VNPA's fall Volunteer Rendezvous, volunteers donated almost 200 hours working on 3 miles of trails and planting over 600 plants. Through the dedicated service of park volunteers, Voyageurs accomplishes a tremendous amount of valuable work. Thank you to all our amazing volunteers!
