The Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument is developing a volunteer program as well as a nonprofit foundation to support conservation, education, and research. Meanwhile, enthusiasts should check the Visitor Center Web site (www.ca.blm.gov/palmsprings) for volunteer opportunities or work with organizations such as the Friends of the Desert Mountains and the Forest Service Volunteer Association.
Opportunities include working at the Visitor Center or the Bobcat Bookstore, helping with guided walks, participating in special events to "meet and greet," giving nature talks, and joining cleanup groups.
For information, call Vic Scott, Friends of the Desert Mountains volunteer coordinator, at (760) 862-9984, or Melinda Lyon of the U.S. Forest Service Volunteer Association at (909) 382-2929.
